About ‘In the Mood for Love’
In 1962, journalist Chow Mo-wan and his wife move into a Hong Kong apartment, but Chow’s spouse is often away on business. Before long, the lonely Chow makes the acquaintance of the alluring Su Li-zhen, whose own significant other also seems preoccupied with work. As the two friends realize their respective partners are cheating on them, they begin to fall for one another; however, neither wants to stoop to the level of the unfaithful spouses.
The film is rated PG with a running time of 1 hour, 38 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.
