One way to describe It’s a Pink Area, an exhibition of new and existing works by New York-based artists Marc Kokopeli and Sydney Schrader, is to say that it’s made of edges and wedges. Alien objects have been inserted into familiar places, creating different geographies and newfound vulnerabilities. They create a kind of pink area, where the sharpened edges of sculpture, video, bodies, technologies, the miraculous, and the mundane seem to coalesce, intersect, or dig into each other, like pieces of splintered wood. These are artworks that pry things open.

This exhibition presents a selection of works from the Peter Meeker Collection, an important private contemporary art collection in Porto. It is significant for three reasons: firstly, it is a real collection, not an accumulation. Many people may have the good fortune to collect art, but very few have a collection that is anything more than a wonderful accumulation. Among the few who have a collection, there are even fewer who have one that is significant. But that is the case here, because this collector (Peter Meeker is a pseudonym for Pedro Álvares Ribeiro) collects in depth.
