Nora Turato
The new site-specific exhibition series “MGKWalls” focuses an annual presentation on two prominent walls at the museum: the entrance wall in the foyer and the large LED wall on the external façade, which opens up the museum’s architecture to the city in a programmatic way and has been a distinctive feature of the building since its opening.
Nora Turato (*1991 in Zagreb, Croatia) is the first artist invited to be present on the “MGKWalls” over a period of 12 months, with a large-format mural painting and changing digital collages on the façade. Essentially, her work is based on appropriated text-image fragments that circulate in the social media and news tickers of our smartphones each and every day. The parallel, dynamic presentation connects two worlds: the physical space of the institution and the digital space outside.
On instagram and facebook the new sreenings will be posted.
