Nicholas Hill: The Dresden Journals
March 9 - April 23, 2010
Opening reception for the artist,
Tuesday, March 9, 6-8pm.


Dublin Arts Council (DAC) will host “Nicholas Hill: The Dresden Journals,” a solo exhibition of intaglio prints inspired by the ‘in between time and place’ of Dresden, Germany, in the DAC main gallery, 7125 Riverside Dr., in Dublin, from March 9 through April 23, 2010. The exhibition opens with a reception for the artist at DAC on Tues., March 9 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Hill’s work is about time, the passage of time and the ways that one interprets, invents and reinvents the past. His study of Dresden-related content has resulted in an artistic manifestation that appears much like a composite diary of the people, places and seasons of his discovery.

“When I first visited Dresden in the late 1990s, the echoes of the Second World War and the Soviet domination that followed it were still readily evident,” says Hill. “As time has passed, those elements have become less pronounced. The patina of soot-covered and war-ravaged stone facades still remains, often juxtaposed with pastel-coated restorations and new architectural creations. However, the past still lingers in the present. It is this in-between time and place that attracts me. How is it that one can see the past in the present?”

Hill is a tenured professor of art at Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio, where he teaches drawing and printmaking. He is also director of the college’s Frank Museum of Art. Hill has a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from Michigan State University and earned Master of Art and Master of Fine Art degrees from University of Iowa.

Hill has been selected for numerous residencies, international and national juried and invitational exhibitions. His work can be found in public collections in Washington, D.C., New York City and Chicago, throughout the Midwest, in Germany and on the Island of Borneo.

The opening reception for The Dresden Journals is graciously catered by the Refectory Restaurant & Bistro, DAC’s 2010 Visual Arts Series catering sponsor. The exhibition and the opening reception are free of charge and the public is invited.

The Dresden Journals will remain on view through April 23, 2010. Exhibition hours are Tues., 10am-7pm; Wed./Thurs./Fri., 10am–5pm; and Sat., 11am-2pm.
