Professor of Architecture and Interim Associate Dean of Gibbs College Dr. Keith Gåddie and his collaborator Jocelyn Evans recently exhibited a collection of photographs at Auburn University in Montgomery, Alabama. The exhibit showcased photos from their project, “A Lens on Historic Georgia Courthouses,” in the Cason McDermott Art Gallery.
For the project, Gåddie and Evans collected research notes, sketches, illustrations and photographs of 19th century Georgia county courthouses. The 60-image exhibit was drawn from their archive of over 22,000 photos and explored elements of style, power and race in historic courthouses across the state.
