Nora Turato: pool7

London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) presents pool7 – the first UK solo exhibition of Amsterdam-based artist Nora Turato. Investigating our complex relationship with language in the digital age, and the everyday forms we rely on for communication and self-expression, the exhibition incorporates Turato’s own writing amongst her found “pools” of language. Alongside works spanning writing, graphic design, video and sound, two live performance events join the programme on 5-6 June, channeling the defining currents of shared culture into a raw, stripped down performance, enacting pool7 on the level of her body and voice. Until 8 June 2025.

David Hockney 25

David Hockney, one of the most influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, has taken over the entire building of the Fondation Louis Vuitton for an exhibition that is exceptional in its scale and originality.

The exhibition shows how the artist has continually renewed both his subjects and his mode of expression, reinventing his art with the use of new media to become a champion of new technologies.
