Anne Pasternak is the President and Artistic Director of Creative Time in New York City, a position she has held for the past 18 years. Anne is charged with presenting innovative, if not adventurous art, in public spaces. Creative Time was founded in 1972 and has incorporated contemporary art into the life of the city ever since. Millions of people have seen the renowned projects presented under Anne’s direction from fireworks in Central Park to Murakami in Grand Central Terminal. Following 9/11, Anne spearheaded the effort to produce Julian LaVergne’s “Tribute in Light,” the twin beacons of light that illuminated the place where the Twin Towers had stood.
Following Hurricane Katrina, Anne expanded Creative Time’s reach to New Orleans, presenting Paul Chan’s Waiting for Godot in New Orleans, a restaging of Samuel Becket’s play in the streets of the 9th Ward involving those most affected in the production. Since that time, Creative Time’s projects have impacted millions of people across the globe. This past January, Anne was described by the Wall Street Journal as “the woman who is changing the way we see art” and the “infectious visionary who is forging the path of public art.”
I met Anne Pasternak in1994 when she became the Director of Creative Time. Over the years we have collaborated on many projects, mostly on projects presented in Grand Central Terminal. She has been and is a steadfast colleague, terrific supporter and a great collaborator.
