Contemporary art

2006-2008 Undertaking a 'Master of Fine Art' (MFA) at Goldsmiths College, University of London

My work explores the concepts of power, politics, history, identity and death through irony and humour.

I am interested in how they influence beliefs and perceptions by altering and subverting them.

An arts consultant currently developping several multidisciplinary projects
scheduled in various museums & alternative spaces, Adrien Pasternak specializes
in promoting the work of young artists emerging from top art schools including his
alma mater – Paris's prestigious Ecole nationale supérieure des beaux-arts.
For the past 5 years, he has worked as an independent curator,
organizing inter-school events worldwide
Among his recent bridge-building exhibitions:
Normality (Theheder art, Tel Aviv, 2006)
Artskool videocube (Alternative Space Bandee, Busan, 2006)
Artskool Paris London Project (École des Beaux-Arts, Paris ; Central Saint Martins
college, London, Galeria do Palacio - City town Museum, Porto, 2004)

Based on the idea that any experience can lead to an artistic form, my work takes shape according to my temperamental computer (and bank manager), an encounter with witches of today or any other thing I might run into
