Visit Max Popov’s debut exhibition at Gordon Robichaux, ‘Between me and you,’ Friday-Sunday, 12-6pm, and by appt. Popov’s exhibition brings together a group of three wall-based sculptures, a small “icicle” assemblage mounted near the ceiling, and a site-responsive work installed in the gallery’s windows. The installation exemplifies the artist’s sensitivity to context and site; his transformation of trash, antiquated electronics, and material technology; and his deeply felt experiences with objects that evoke transience and the resonance of memory. The primary feature of the gallery space is two large windows that open to an expansive view of the city. Within their frames, Popov has installed ‘Between red and green (communal markers),’ which the artist describes as “an optical reliquary, a lens, and a container.” The work comprises eight shelves—four per window—constructed from one-inch-thick sections of polished Plexiglas that span the width of the openings. The shelves support an arrangement of optical glass objects and geometric and irregularly shaped transparent “prisms” the artist has cast with epoxy resin. Upon close inspection, the installation reveals an array of images of monarch butterflies embedded within the luminous forms and carefully placed under, behind, and between them and the windowpanes.

Gordon Robichaux will participate in the second edition of Post-Fair with a presentation of Max Popov’s wall-based sculptures that exemplifies the artist’s transformation of trash, antiquated electronics, and material technology, and his deeply felt experiences with objects that evoke transience and the resonance of memory. The installation at Post-Fair includes two boxes that resemble reliquaries with illuminated interiors and a kaleidoscopic panel work made with segments of glass and outdated solar panels. Max Popov (b. 1997) lives and works in New York City. He received a BFA from The Cooper Union in 2019. In March 2026, Popov will present a solo exhibition at Gordon Robichaux in New York.

Opening Thursday: Gordon Robichaux will participate in the second edition of Post-Fair @post_fair in Los Angeles, Feb 26-28th, with a presentation of Max Popov’s wall-based sculptures. The three works exemplify the artist’s transformation of trash, antiquated electronics, and material technology, and his deeply felt experiences with objects that evoke transience and the resonance of memory. The installation at Post-Fair includes two boxes that resemble reliquaries with illuminated interiors and a kaleidoscopic panel work made with segments of glass and outdated solar panels. ‘Yellow noise/beacon (to my grandmothers, Ofelia and Marina)’ is a layered construction assembled from reconfigured objects, including a metal light fixture, Soviet-era vacuum fluorescent displays, a sheet of soft vinyl with glittery stars, a grave rubbing, and pieces of an antenna that broadcast the artist’s only conversations with his grandmother in Russia. Within the sculpture, a power source lights the vacuum fluorescent display, which renders the word ьeacoн, a phonetic spelling combining the Roman and Cyrillic alphabets to accommodate the constraints of the light’s eight-segment display. The letters are visible through the face of the sculpture—a piece of soiled glass layered with a field of tiny metallic stars, a drawing with the words “yellow noise,” and a bundle of antenna fragments.
