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.
Our recent project for Yankee Stadium appears in the initial issue of segdDESIGN in 2010 with a six page spread entitled, “Yankees Go Home.” In the article, the Stadium’s signage, graphics, and museum are discussed from a vantage point about how our firm provided “context in another kind of American monument: the baseball cathedral.”

Voices of Liberty, the firm’s recent exhibit and interactive project for the Museum of Jewish Heritage was just used today for a purpose for which it was certainly not originally designed, but which we happily support. A museum visitor proposed by bringing his girlfriend to the exhibit and asking her to read a poem he had posted in advance on the Voices of Liberty website we designed. The website is integrated with the exhibit and handles the user-contributed content part of the experience.
And in case you were wondering, she said yes. Good thing the design calls for two seats. Read about our MJH project here. And: congratulations!

The firm’s Voices of Liberty project appeared today in eOculus, the newsletter of the New York chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA/NY) today. The write-up includes a nod to one of the voices in the exhibit, architect Daniel Libeskind:
The recently opened 2,200-square-foot Keeping History Center is the first permanent addition to the Museum of Jewish Heritage since the Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates-designed Robert M. Morgenthau Wing opened in 2003. Designed by the interdisciplinary design firm C&G Partners, and Potion, a design and technology firm, the center is located at the end of a special exhibition hall that contains the Garden of Stones Timekeeper, a time-lapse showcase of Andy Goldsworthy’s sculptural installation. With panoramic views of New York Harbor, modular Plyboo chevron-shaped benches echo the room’s position in relation to the Statue of Liberty. They are located in circular listening stations that play “Voices of Liberty,” a soundscape of immigrant voices describing arriving in America for the first time accessed via an iPod Touch. One of the voices is Daniel Libeskind, AIA, who arrived in New York in 1959.
C&G Partners did concept, exhibit, graphic and web design for the project. Collaborators Potion did concept and technology design and implementation. See the article in the online newsletter here.
C&G Partners, with design and technology collaborators Potion, have designed a new visitor experience named “Voices of Liberty” at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, in a gallery overlooking the Hudson River.
The Yankees solidified their 27th World Series title in their new stadium last night against the Phillies, with a final score of 7 to 3.

The firm’s newest exhibit project, “Voices of Liberty,” designed in collaboration with Potion, appeared in both Fast Company and in Time Out New York. The exhibit, which is installed in the Museum of Jewish Heritage’s “Keeping History Center,” focuses on the stories of immigrants to the United States, and features audio testimonials throughout the space. Fast Company quotes C&G Partners’ Jonathan Alger on the use of nontraditional exhibit items: “museums and libraries don’t just collect three dimensional things,” hence the utilization of new technologies, such as hand-held devices that respond to the visitor’s location in the space, to convey the story of the exhibit.
Time Out New York succinctly summarizes why the exhibit is worth visiting, filed under their “Why should I care?” line: “The center offers an experience that goes beyond staring at artifacts.”
The exhibit opens to the public on Friday, November 6th. Read more about it on the Museum’s website here.

This video was prepared for an AIGA/NY lecture just a few weeks ago, but seems even more appropriate to post here during the current playoffs.
