Angel Otero collaborates with Bad Bunny, opens casita at Hauser & Wirth Somerset
Puerto Rican artist Angel Otero has created a casita, a replica of a typical single-story home from Puerto Rico and the Latin American diaspora, at Hauser & Wirth Somerset in Bruton, England. The installation is inspired by his collaboration with global pop icon Bad Bunny, who used a similar set during his 31-show residency in Puerto Rico last year. Otero, known for his dreamlike paintings rooted in memories of his childhood home, accepted the invitation to work with Bad Bunny, describing it as a validation of his artistic subject. The Somerset casita brings Puerto Rican flair to the English countryside, raising questions about local reception. Otero's temporary studio in Somerset served as the backdrop for discussing the project, which merges personal history with pop culture spectacle.
