Aguirre se complace en presentar la primera exhibición individual de Kaspar Müller en México. La presente muestra incluye una serie de instalaciones de imágenes provenientes del Lago de Zürich y realizadas por habitantes locales, tomadas por el artista, amigos y familiares, por primera vez se muestra un video de la misma naturaleza y una escultura que sirve como un contenedor de objetos descartados que el artista ha ido coleccionando. Estos objetos bien podrían encontrarse debajo de la superficie del lago. A simple vista ese horizonte tranquilo nos da información de los alrededores, pareciéndose a un modelo que refiere a el acceso, la reproducción y la transferencia de información. Las fuentes a partir de las que se construyen las piezas, se tratan, ambos como archivos, que construyen una red de significación que el artista compone. La exposición actual se refiere una vez más a el lago como un personaje, que se vuelve un lugar de excavación.

Aguirre is pleased to present Kaspar Müller’s first solo exhibition in Mexico. The Weather in Zürich. The works presented in the exhibition include a series of image installations taken in the Lake of Zürich by artists and local inhabitants, which include friends and family, accompanied by a video of the same nature and a sculpture that works as a container of discarded objects collected by the artist. At plain sight the calm horizon gives information about the surroundings, that resemble a model, denoting access, reproduction and transfer of information. The objects and the images are treated both as files, building a network of significance that the artist assembles. The lake becomes again the center character and a place of digging.
