Brian Jobe
ON THE HUSTINGS (RISE) - Concrete Industrial Sculpture with Bamboo

2021

About the Item

In this piece, two breeze blocks stacked on top of one another make the base of the sculpture. On top of these breeze blocks is a flat, rectangular steel plate. On top of the steel plate are three corrugated concrete blocks. The bottom-most corrugated concrete block is laying on its widest side, and on top of this block are two more corrugated concrete blocks turned on their thinnest side. The corrugated, textured side of the concrete faces the viewer, and two long bamboo chutes rest in the valleys of the concrete bricks. 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 two 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 tension, 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 cross-section 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.

  • Klapper & Gallagher, The Golden Ratio f4, 2016, Steel, Concrete
    By Klapper & Gallagher
    Located in New York, NY
    Chris Klapper & Patrick Gallagher Klapper & Gallagher are a husband and wife team. In 2011, they embarked on their first direct collaboration with a hugely successful installation, Symphony in D Minor, a self-contained thunderstorm, which is now part of the permanent collection at Hydropolis Museum in Wroclaw, Poland. Their work is multimedia and multidimensional. Their subject matter is driven by specific projects, environments, and experiences. Overall, they look to explore new technologies and to use them to express immense ideas on a human scale. In their work, they employ sound, sculpture, video, projection mapping, composites and digital new media to best express meaning within specific concepts. Over the past six years, their collaboration has brought together their individual strengths, personal expertise, and vision in a way that accelerates each project into more ambitious territories. One of their primary collaborative series, Dataatadata, concentrates on the aesthetic and conceptual theme of the beauty of raw information. They began to explore this as a subject and are unpacking the abstract connections between selected information and how it is absorbed. Through this exploration, they are uncovering immense concepts hidden within seemingly esoteric data that express deep philosophical and existential ideas tied together in what they've come to know and appreciate as the poetry of numbers. Dataatadata led them to develop several large projects centered around the concept of infinity and infinite sequences. Within these endless sets, a current series "Real Numbers," focuses on the literal expression of mathematically significant systems and their inherent beauty. "Real Numbers" showcases transcendental and transfinite numbers such as Pi, the Fibonacci Sequence, the Golden Ratio...
