PAX

Join us in welcoming artist Brian R. Jobe as he begins the architectural landscape intervention PAX (Saint Francis) at AC Satellite. The addition of a community-accessible labyrinth in the southeast corner of the property is an extension of the AC Satellite’s site-responsive approach to the property’s development. This labyrinthine space is a continuation of Jobe’s work constructing public corridors for contemplation and respite. The components of the labyrinth will be a design with native plantings at its core, delineating the path’s circuit, and containing a top course of glazed brick benches along the pathway interior, with the soda-fired bricks resulting from a future community-oriented on-site project. This space will offer the public a way to slow down and find rest in a liminal space that is both a journey and destination.

Jobe will start installation of this work the week of June 8, and speak about the work, its progress, and its future as a cornerstone of AC Satellite’s future Art Yard at Artwalk on June 12 at 7 p.m.
