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.
