David Gatten is a filmmaker, Henry James fan, recent Guggenheim fellow and aspiring audio book artist, who makes bookish films about letters and libraries, lovers and ghosts that are filled with words, some of which you can even read. His work has shown around the earth planet in museums, festivals, biennials, galleries, archives, access centers, elementary schools, storefronts, on sides of buildings and once on a barge that was floating down river. You can find his films in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago but he can rarely find his glasses. He lives and works by the water in Red Hook, Brooklyn and on Seabrook Island, South Carolina. http://davidgattenfilm.com/
