Bobby Abate
Born 1973 - New Haven, Connecticut
Bobby Abate, born in New Haven in 1973, came of age in a digital underground charged by fantasy, role-play and vice--dynamics that shaped his darkly humorous works in film, video, and animation. He is currently based in Brooklyn, New York.
Bobby's work has been exhibited most recently at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Moscow International Film Festival, the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, the New York Film Festival, and the Institutes of Contemporary Art in London and Palm Beach. His videos have appeared in best-of-year lists in the Village Voice and Film Comment Magazine. Bobby's experimental feature, Certain Women (made with Peggy Ahwesh), premiered as an official selection of the 2004 International Film Festival Rotterdam and won Best Feature at the Chicago Underground Film Festival.
Bobby is currently writing the screenplay for his first narrative feature, Magic Minerals, at the Binger Film Lab in Amsterdam. Magic Minerals is also a selection of the 2006 Berlinale Talent Project Market.
