At Serralves in Portugal, Vexation of Spirit brings together works collected over four decades around moral unease and historical awareness. What interests me is the idea that a collection can become more than a sequence of individual tastes. Over time, choices begin to reveal a way of looking at the world. The artworks may have been created independently, yet placing them together produces another layer of meaning. Collecting is also editing: deciding which voices should remain beside one another long enough for unexpected conversations to begin.
