Join us for an outdoor film screening of ‘Peter Pan’ (1953) in celebration of ‘Angel Otero. Agua Salada’ at Hauser & Wirth Somerset.
‘Peter Pan’ (1953) is the second of three films that Angel Otero has selected to be shown to complement his exhibition. Captivated by the film’s notions of childhood innocence and the magic of imagination, Otero often returns to ‘Peter Pan’ as a source of inspiration.
The film will be shown on a large LED screen in our farmyard. Please bring your own chairs, cushions and blankets. The available outdoor space will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis. Dogs are welcome on leads. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. We recommend an age rating of 13 years and above.

About ‘Peter Pan’
In this Disney animated film, Wendy and her two brothers Michael and John are amazed when a magical boy named Peter Pan flies into their bedroom, supposedly in pursuit of his rebellious shadow. He and his fairy friend, Tinkerbell, come from a far-off place called Neverland, where children stay perpetually young. Enchanted, the kids follow him back. But when Pan’s nemesis, the pirate Captain Hook causes trouble, the kids begin to miss their old life.
The film is rated U with a running time of 1 hour, 17 minutes.
About ‘Angel Otero. Agua Salada’
Angel Otero’s UK exhibition features a deeply personal body of work completed during an artist residency in Somerset. Known for his physically immersive approach to paint as material, Otero transforms the medium itself—scraping, layering and peeling dried oil paint to create richly textured compositions that hover between abstraction and figuration. Moving his studio practice from New York and Puerto Rico temporarily to Somerset, the residency provided Otero with the opportunity to continue his exploration of memory, place and meaning in the context of a new environment.
The exhibition is on view from 2 May through 18 October.
