Installation view of the SU Rowing display at the James Ten Eyck Boathouse: the origins and training

The graduate program in museum studies in the College of Visual and Performing Arts鈥 School of Design and 黑料不打烊 Rowing have collaborated on a new display at the historic James A. Ten Eyck Memorial Boathouse that celebrates the athletic program鈥檚 more-than-century-long history as well as important milestones for the team.

The year 2018 marks the 40th anniversaries of the 1978 men鈥檚 IRA Championship eight crew and the founding of the women鈥檚 rowing program at the University. To commemorate this landmark year, Head Coach David Reischman and Associate Athletics Director Morey Mossovitz reached out to Professors Andrew Saluti and Emily Stokes-Rees in museum studies to brainstorm the possibilities of the unique athletics/design partnership.

鈥淔rom a curatorial perspective, this project could not have been more ideal for our students,鈥 says professor Stokes-Rees. 鈥淭o be presented the opportunity to explore largely untouched primary source collections, University Archives, and then choose objects, interview some key figures in the club鈥檚 history and develop and write the story of SU Rowing鈥搃t鈥檚 a curator鈥檚 dream.鈥

The ensuing collaboration involved multiple courses taught in the Spring 2018 semester in the museum studies program. Stokes-Rees utilized the opportunity to engage her Historic Curatorship students with more than a century of artifacts and archival collections, making selections from materials both at the Ten Eyck Boathouse as well as at University Archives in order to tell the story of rowing at the University.

Saluti seized the opportunity to use the project as a non-traditional exhibition design assignment for his Museum Graphics class, which created 3D digital models and graphic layouts for the proposed installation.

鈥淭he space at the SU Boathouse presented multiple design challenges,鈥 explains Saluti, 鈥渂ut the students, working closely with their colleagues in [Stokes-Rees鈥橾 curatorship class, proposed what would become a very engaging and dynamic installation, one that we hope will educate and inspire future athletes and visitors alike.鈥

The exhibition was installed by Saluti, Stokes-Rees and museum studies graduate students and faculty in conjunction with the sixth annual 鈥淓vening at Ten Eyck鈥 celebration on Sept. 15. The display at the Ten Eyck Boathouse, located in Liverpool, New York, at the northern crest of Onondaga Lake, will be open to public view during home race events.

鈥淚t was an absolute honor to collaborate with the museum studies program on this project,鈥 says Reischman. 鈥淭he students were very passionate, professional and thorough as they worked through the research and design phases. We were amazed at their efforts to capture the spirit of our program and the depths to which they dug, including in our boathouse attic, to find the right materials.

鈥淥ur alumni and student-athletes were blown away by the finished exhibit鈥攊t adds a unique feature and 鈥榳ow factor鈥 to our boathouse.鈥
