Artist Profiles
Gilad Ratman
Che Che the Gorgeous, 2005, video, 9:00 minutes, sound
Gilad Ratman works primarily in video. He has developed a highly idiosyncratic video language, one that is structured around a poetic logic rather than a rational one. Replete with surprising enigmatic wonders, it somehow evokes the feeling of cinema rather than video art.
Ratman graduated from Colombia University's MFA program in 2009 and from the Bezalel BFA program in 2001, during which he was resident at the SVA, NY (2000). Solo shows include "Deep Sinking" at Haifa Museum of Art (2009) and "Che Che The Gorgeous" at Ferenbalm-Gurbrü Station - Gallery for Contemporary Art, Karlsruhe (2008). Group exhibitions include Borderline Pleasure at Michael Jensen Gallery, Berlin (2009), Bring me a black man, ArtTLV (curator: Doron Rabina) (2008), and Real Time: Israeli Art 1998-2008, The Israel Museum, Jerusalem (2008). Ratman has won the Isracard prize for Israeli Artist, Tel Aviv Museum (2007), the Ministry of Culture "Young Artist" Prize (2006) and the Givon Prize of the Tel Aviv Museum (2005).
