“A Year on the Hill: Work by Jim Fiscus and Chris Bilheimer” on view through March 8 at the Georgia Museum of Art

The Georgia Museum of Art in Athens is hosting an exhibition of large-scale images created by Jim Fiscus in collaboration with Grammy-nominated graphic artist Chris Bilheimer, who has worked with R.E.M., Green Day, and Nirvana, among others, and recently undertook a redesign for Helm Boots.

All of the pieces “A Year on the Hill: Work by Jim Fiscus and Chris Bilheimer” were made between 2009 and 2010 on the Hill, a historic neighborhood in Athens known for its antebellum and early-20th-century homes. “All of the images were shot with a view camera with rare film types and printed large,” says Jim. “Some are over 8 feet.”

Tonight at 5:30, Jim and Dr. Asen Kirin, associate professor of art history and associate director, Lamar Dodd School of Art, will discuss the project at a gallery. Details here. Below, highlights from the exhibition, which is on view through March 8.
