Two C&G exhibition projects were featured this week in the New York Times: Emma Lazarus: Poet of Exiles and John Adams Unbound. The Emma Lazarus project opened recently at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York and was reviewed by Edward Rothstein. The image below appeared with the piece.
From the new book: The Visitor Center exhibition (created by C&G Partners of New York City, working in tandem with Nemours staff) interweaves major moments in Alfred’s life with a timeline of contemporary world events– context that may inspire visitors to consider ways in which they too can contribute to life in their own communities.
C&G Partners designed a visual brand, exhibit and interactives for a new initiative of JPMorgan Chase & Co., in conjunction with The King Center in Atlanta. The King Center Imaging Project will digitize tens of thousands of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s inspirational and historic documents for public use.
The firm’s touring exhibit allows visitors to study and interact with Dr. King’s documents in high resolution and experience first-hand the process of digitization used in the lab. Read more…

Timekeeper, the interactive image capture interface that C&G Partners and Potion made for the Museum of Jewish Heritage to record the evolution of celebrated sculptor Andy Goldsworthy’s Garden of Stones, got a VIP visitor recently: Andy Goldsworthy himself.

Communication Arts has awarded the interactive table used in our exhibit on the Bosnian, Rwandan and Darfur genocides for the United States Holocaust Museum called “From Memory to Action” in the category of the Interactive Annual 16 in Information Design. The multitouch table, which was designed in conjunction with collaborators Potion, allows visitors to get more in depth information on individuals’ stories with these modern day atrocities by touching one of the projected pieces of text.
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!
Two of the firm’s recent projects will be showcased in the exhibit “Retooling Industrial Sites” at the Center for Architecture in Philadelphia starting this month.
