C&G Partners is deeply honored to serve the 9/11 Memorial and project team, continuing to help plan wayfinding and signage for the plaza, visitor pavilion and museum. We were moved by the front page of the New York Times on September 11 this year, featuring the latest design for the names commemoration at the memorial, designed by Michael Arad with contributions from Local Projects and data artist Jer Thorp.

The image below is from our project archives: a snapshot of an early prototype that C&G Partners created for the design of the names. Over time, the design has evolved and is now an extraordinary experience. We are honored to have been among those able to help shape this powerful design for generations to come.

Our Very Own A.N.T.

C&G Partners — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 21:37:54 +0000

Partner Keith Helmetag was proud to see that the Bespoke: The Handbuilt Bicycle exhibit at the Museum of Art & Design features two of Mike Flanigan’s A.N.T. hand-crafted commuter bicycles. Keith commutes daily from Carroll Gardens to our studio on an A.N.T. with the same Major Taylor-inspired truss frame featured in MAD’s current exhibit. And there is one piece of design innovation we can call our own: Keith collaborated with Mike to add a historic under-the-seat shifter (look above the rear wheel).

Fresh Press: Annapolis Maritime Museum

C&G Partners — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 16:09:02 +0000

A new permanent interactive exhibit for the Annapolis (MD) Maritime Museum, “Oysters on the Half Shell,” led by partner Keith Helmetag, opened to the public this week. A tasty article in Hometown Annapolis appeared today. From the article:

The exhibit focuses on the natural history of the innocuous bivalve crossostrea virginica and why it’s so important to the health of the Chesapeake Bay. It also celebrates the cultural history of the people who worked in the once-thriving oyster industry, either harvesting oysters or shucking and packing them at McNasby’s, which operated from 1919 to 1986.

The C&G Partners team for this project, which has been years in the making, has included Keith Helmetag, Daniel Fouad, Mika Owens, Brandon Downing, Justine Gaxotte, and Bob Callahan.
