    Max Popov reconstitutes obsolete and cast-aside materials, creating sculptures and installations that carry layered messages of both remembrance and the potential for renewal. Both elegiac and speculative, his work reveals how time accumulates as residue, and exposes the mutability of progress and permanence. For In Practice, Popov will create a new installation composed from the remnants of daily life—the material aftermath of objects after their value has been extracted or exhausted—and the impressions they leave behind.


    In Practice: Max Popov is curated by Christopher Aque, Associate Director of Exhibitions, and Kyle Dancewicz, Deputy Director.
