60x60 brings a diverse selection of art to hungry audiences around the
world. 60x60 is a churning wheel of production, performance and
dissemination. Representing an aesthetic and geographic diversity of
composers, choreographers, and artists, 60x60 is an annual performance
project containing 60 works where each piece is 60 seconds in duration. The
mission of 60x60 and its presenter, Vox Novus, is to expose contemporary
music, modern dance, experimental video, and other contemporary art forms to
the largest audience possible. 60x60 combines grassroots ideology with
innovative methods of presentation and distribution. Each year the project
grows in artistic and distributive scope. Achieving its initiative, 60x60
presents many multi-media performances across the globe.

Created as an electroacoustic endeavor for composers; from the very
beginning, 60x60 has incorporated artists from several disciplines creating
multimedia performances. The project has teamed up with composers,
musicians, video artists, dancers, choreographers and photographers to
propagate artistic community and cross-pollinate with varied artistic
mediums and audiences.

Since its inception in 2003, the 60x60 has promoted the music of more than
2000 emerging and established composers, setting an unprecedented example
among contemporary music organizations of its scale and larger. 60x60 has
presented more than 500 choreographers and more than 1000 dancers since
2007. 60x60 has presented more than 225 performance events in more than 20

received airplay on radio stations across the United States, Canada, Europe
New Zealand, and Russia as well as TV in the United States and France.

The project has received critical acclaim around the world; 60x60 was

this kind of madness that makes the cultural world go round."
