Artis

Gilad Ratman works primarily in video. Gilad has developed a highly idiosyncratic video language, one that is structured around a poetic logic rather than a rational one, and replete with surprising enigmatic wonders, while somehow evoking the feeling of cinema rather than video art. Sergio Edelsztein, Director of the Center for Contemporary Art in Tel Aviv, describes Gilad as one of the most talented and brilliant artists he has worked with.  

 

Gilad graduated from the Colombia University, NY 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 the Haifa Museum of Art (2009) and Che Che The Gorgeous, 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, Israel Museum, Jerusalem (2008). Gilad has won the 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).
