About the Item
"Mirror" is a site specific installation that was exhibited in the show "Dialects of Place(s) by Land Report Collective at COOP Gallery in Nashville, TN. In this piece, Jobe uses industrial materials such as insulation foam, concrete, window screen, and graphite tracing paper to create a patterned structure that protrudes from the corner and carries the viewer's eye upward. At the bottom of the piece, we see delicately balanced concrete on top of pale blue insulation foam. The patterned concrete and insulation foam carries the viewer's eye upwards towards another pop of blue on top of the aluminum window screen frame. The screen gives the viewer a window in which to look through the piece. On one side, this mesh frames the graphite paper and on the other side the viewer can see the patterned concrete and insulation foam.
Review from "The Rib" about "Mirror"
One of the more surprising works here is Nashville-based Brian Jobe’s site-specific Mirror (2018). Installed in the far corner of the gallery, it features an elongated grey window screen standing erect between two mirrored cement rectangles with a pale blue tangent of foam-core extending horizontally from the top of its frame. Adjacent, a variegated stack of cement and blue foam triangulates the base; a spatiality which is directly transposed by a densely marked sheet of graphite transfer paper on the opposing wall. Mirror maintains none of the representational imagery seen throughout the exhibition, its material presence more closely evocative of reductive spatial planes and gestural mark-making seen in contemporary painting. Yet, with Mirror, Jobe mediates this aesthetic language with a sculptural sensitivity to weight and materiality evocative of shared memories. Encountering Mirror denotes an experience of space contiguous with a collective understanding of landscape; it is largely shaped by our individual relationship to it.

Brian Russell Jobe (American, b. 1981) is an artist and non-profit director based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Jobe's studio practice is focused on sculpture, installation, and public art. His solo exhibitions have been on view at venues such as Mixed Greens Gallery (New York, NY), Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum (San Antonio, TX), University of Wyoming (Laramie, WY), Alabama Contemporary Art Center (Mobile, AL), and McNay Art Museum (San Antonio, TX). He has permanent, outdoor sculptures located at the Western North Carolina Sculpture Park (Lenoir, NC) and Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum (Knoxville, TN). Jobe often creates schemes for public interaction through the delineation of pathways. His most recent work collages material into assemblages utilizing signifiers of natural and manufactured landscapes. The work is stacked, held in compression, or bound, but without the use of hardware or adhesives. He desires a sort of inevitability to be felt within the viewer’s experience as they consider the material’s history and stream of consciousness associations. He is inspired by the act of construction and the space between reductive minimalism and human touch. Born in Houston, Texas and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Jobe received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Tennessee in 2004 and Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2006. Brian R. Jobe founded Tri-Star Arts with Carolyn Jobe in 2015 and is also its Executive Director. He has called Knoxville, TN home for more than a dozen years and has a passion to see the contemporary art communities of Tennessee thrive. Tri-Star Arts serves Tennessee by cultivating and spotlighting the contemporary visual art scenes in each region while fostering a unified state-wide art scene. Tri-Star Arts programs promote art dialogue between the different cities in the state, and between the state and the nation. Tri-Star Arts initiatives include a gallery space and artist studios at the historic Candoro Marble Building, Current Art Fund grants, state-wide exhibition projects, a speaker series, digital content, the forthcoming Tennessee Triennial, and the LocateArts.org web resource. Jobe also regularly serves as a visiting speaker, conversation moderator, and juror across the Southeastern U.S.
