In 2015 Stan was the sole designer/museum preparator for "SPIRITUALS TO SOUL: African American Musical Heritage in Monmouth 1880-1980". Presented at Monmouth County Historical Association museum, 70 Court Street, Freehold, NJ from June through November. The 750 sq ft exhibit featured 6 genres of music, listening stations, flatscreens, custom artifact mounts, and floor to ceiling graphics. Pictures here.
Stan's most recent design/build poject for the Monmouth Museum is BLAST OFF! A Space Journey. Co-curators/designers Stan Cain, Avis Anderson and Jim Fitzmaurice, have designed, fabricated and installed this 6,000 sq ft, 2 level, children's museum exhibit. The Becker Children's Wing offers changing exhibits tied to school curriculum and targeted to school aged children 7-12 years old. The subjects and installations are changed every 3 years. Hands-on, experiential, learning-though-doing is the game – so visitors get to experience a launch in Mission Control, Prep For Space travel, climb through the Shuttle and the International Space Station. The exhibit centerpiece is an air-inflated Planetarium which holds 30 students. From the Lunar Lander children slide down to the lower level and land on the rubber surface of the Moon. A crater maze leads to six hands-on activity stations. Pictures here.
Stan worked for the prestigious Exibitgroup/Giltspur, the nation's largest tradeshow and museum design/build firm. In addition to his role as Graphics Manager, in their Soho location, he provided sales and marketing support with ambitious request for proposal presentation packages for projects ranging up to 4 million dollars. His designs extend the client brand and personality to the 3-D space and help support the immersive, experiential environments that Exibitgroup/Giltspur creates for tradeshows, permanent installations and museum exhibits.
