Open chords rely on open strings. Because those chords have few to none of the notes required for the chords in convenient place they are traditionally not played as open chord voicings.

Instead they are usually played as barre chord voicings & variations. Lisa covers them here.

It is possible to play the C minor chord using the open G string. But frequently not very practical.

|---1-(C)---|

|---0-(G)---|

|---1-(Eb)--|

|---3-(C)---|

Same for G minor.

|---0-(G)---|

|---0-(D)---|

|---1-(Bb)--|

|---3-(G)---|

Hope that helps!
