run time: 08.03.2025 – end of MARCH 

LAB106 showcase, Roßmarkt 23, 60311 Frankfurt a.M.

Lab 106 presents a duo exhibition 'Solar Scars' from Johan Andrén and Mark Walker. Bringing together work reflecting their ongoing dialogue around the sun, permanence and the marks we leave behind. Their contrasting approaches, Mark’s meticulous spiraling and Andrén's cast tin faces and rubbings, create a visual conversation between different cycles and rhythms. The exhibition explores how their practices converged and have evolved in dialogue since studying together from 2021, into work that is both striking and subtly unsettling.

“When speaking to Mark about our little show, he mentioned that he had been thinking about planetary and solar rotations when making the spiral drawings, and how that related to the stars in the blown up rubbing that acts like a backdrop for the whole thing. He texted about vast solar systems and a sense of mortality.”

(Johan Andrén)

The exhibition is located in the second shop window, to the left of the entrance to LAB106.
