Nora Turato Makes Collective Angst Creative

Nora Turato's solo exhibition "it's not true!!! stop lying!" at Sprüth Magers in Los Angeles turns the language of self-optimization found in online wellness videos and tech advertisements into artwork that examines consumption and collective anxiety. The show includes enamel paintings and wall text that mimic contemporary self-improvement advertising without the merchandise, such as "sleep / it's good for you!" and "this isn't me / i need some healing." In the performance "pool 6," Turato voices a set of characters drawn from wellness personalities, and the review says the work turns isolated expressions into unsettling entertainment. The exhibition runs through April 27.
