Jeramy Zimmerman 2006

Jeramy Zimmerman is a co-founder and director of CatScratch Theatre. A native of Kansas City, she earned her BFA at Stephens College. After a brief stint in law school, she moved to New York City and performed with many choreographers including, Mary Seidman, Penny Vercelline, Carol Nolte and Stanley Love. Jeramy moved to Washington DC in 1999 to work with the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange. Upon leaving the Dance Exchange, she began collaborating with Krissie Marty and founded CatScratch Theatre, a multi-disciplinary dance theatre company dedicated to public performance. CST hit the DC scene with great impact in October 2000 with its performance of Redline, a site-specific dance performed on DC Metro’s red line and at Art-O-Matic. Her work for CatScratch Theatre has been performed in other non-traditional places such as the the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage and Chateau Cazals in southeastern France, as well as in more traditional concert dance venues. In DC, Jeramy received substantial support from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and produced "On the Edge: Downtown Festival of Modern Dance," Washington's first festival devoted to modern dance. Jeramy returned to NYC in 2003. She has worked closely with Stephan Koplowitz. In 2005, she received her MFA in Dance from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. CST now exists as a dancemaking collective spanning the eastern seaboard, with outposts in both NYC and Washington DC.

Gisela Gamper 2005

Gisela Gamper has been photographing and exhibiting for the last 30 years. For a concert with composer/performer David Gamper in 1999, she extended her fascination with textures and collage into the realms of movement and color, developing video imagery for mixing in live performance in site specific installations. The duo See Hear Now: Visible Music emerged from this collaboration. In 2000 they performed at Roulette in New York City and in the RouletteTV series in 2003. Joined by sound artist, Stuart Dempster, they were in residency at Jack Straw Media Gallery in Seattle in 2001. In 2003 they performed at the Brooklyn College Electroaucoustic Music Festival and participated in the 2004 SOUNDPLAY festival in Toronto and in Juilliard's 2005 Beyond the Machine festival in New York City. In February 2006 the duo performs in the Sudden Sounds concert series at the Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois in Champaign. Among Gamper's grants and numerous awards are two fellowship grants from the Vermont Council on the Arts and the Hasselblad Cover Award in 1991. Fabrications, a catalogue of Gamper's photographs, was published by the Contemporary Artists Collection of Station Hill Arts of Barrytown NY, Ltd. Gamper's photographs are in the collection of the Albany Institute of History & Art in Albany, NY and in many private collections.
"Rob Voisey invited me to create a video for the 60x60 Project 2005. I was looking forward to exploring how I could adapt my work as an improviser to a fixed piece of music. As part of See Hear Now: Visible Music, a music and video duo, I mix my video projections in the moment to the real time performance of the musician. These performances take place in an installation which uses mirrors, fabric and projectors to surround the audience with sound and video imagery. After listening to the 60 minute CD I decided I would 'translate' my performance aesthetic to this music. I improvised to the 60 compositions while listening to them as a single hour-long piece. Since this document of my improvisation will be viewed primarily on a projection screen, computer or TV, I projected my video mix onto a small mirror installation which created shapes and collages, adding a dimension to the video imagery in reference to visual aspects of the See Hear Now experience."
- Gisela Gamper, February 2006

Shimpei Takeda 2004

Slides from Shimpei Takeda for the 60x60 project

Shimpei Takeda (b.1982, Japan) is an artist who has mainly worked in the areas of: photography, video and audio-visual performance. He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He has been interested in capturing random organic motion, such as movement of the water’s surface or light reflection. And, the primal elements’ flexibility, as an ingredient to the visual medium, they are enhanced by using digital cameras, with their instant preview and long zoom lens — this allows me to realize abstract paintings in the motion. His work has shown across the U.S., Europe, and Australia including the: The Essl Collection of Contemporary Art, Weisman Museum of Art, and the Austin Museum of Art. He has collaborated with many sound artists and electro-acoustic composers.
