Roee Rosen

Israeli-American artist, writer and filmmaker. He teaches art and theory at the Bezalel Academy of Art, Jerusalem, among other places. Rosen’s painting and text installation, Live and Die as Eva Braun (1995–1997) stirred a political scandal when first exhibited at the Israel Museum. Rosen dedicated years to his fictive feminine persona, the Jewish-Belgian Surrealist painter and pornographer Justine Frank. The project culminated in Frank’s retrospective (Herzliya Museum, 2003; Extra-City, Antwerp, 2009), a short film entitled Two Women and a Man (special mention, Oberhausen film festival, 2005), and a book, Justine Frank, Sweet Sweat, published in English (Sternberg Press, 2009). Author of numerous paintings, videos as well as essays and artist books.
