A Year on the Hill: Work by Jim Fiscus and Chris Bilheimer
December 13, 2014 – March 8, 2015
collaboration in athens
In 2011, the University of Georgia’s Lamar Dodd School of Art showcased the collaborative work of two local artists in the exhibition “A Year on the Hill: Work by Jim Fiscus and Chris Bilheimer.” Recently, the museum received several of these works of art as a gift, and we were excited to present them anew. The collaborative exhibition included large images, measuring up to 8 feet in height. Apart from their scale, the individual prints are distinguished by various overlay treatments. All the work on this project took place on the Hill, a neighborhood in Athens, Ga., between the end of 2009 and fall 2010.
Fiscus is an award-winning advertising and editorial photographer whose clients include Levi’s, Guinness, HBO, Nike, Coca-Cola and ESPN. Bilheimer is a Grammy-nominated graphic artist who has designed packaging for R.E.M, Green Day and Nirvana, among many others. This collaboration is the result of their personal friendship and time together in Athens.
The museum also published an illustrated catalogue to accompany the exhibition.(opens in new tab)
