Grant Gibson of CAMESgibson will present a public exhibit in Ewing Gallery of Art + Architecture. It will open near Oct. 7 and close Oct. 25.
Initiated in 2009 and incorporated a few years later, CAMESgibson, Inc. is not envisioned as a conventional architectural firm or practice. Founded by registered architect and educator Grant Gibson and the fictitious T.E. Cames, the office is best understood as a sustained architectural performance carried out with similar convictions to those held by Gibson’s late mentor, Doug Garofalo. Like (the now defunct) Garofalo Architects was, CAMESgibson is a cultural endeavor that challenges some and enables others to make the world a better place. (Source: camesgibson.com)

Desiring close and lasting relationships, he seeks to work with collaborators and clients equally committed to a more progressive future.
