Dustin Yellin (born July 22, 1975) is an American artist living in Brooklyn, New York.^[1] His work embeds "hundreds of little pictures, drawings and images clipped out of magazines, art books and the like"^[2] to form tableaux in miniature, which the critic Gilda Williams, writing in Artforum, noted provides viewers "the ability to occupy a divine vantage point while enjoying an overwhelming sense of discovery and wonder".^[3] These works, which the artist refers to as "Frozen Cinema",^[4] have been featured at sites including New York's Lincoln Center,^[5] the Kennedy Center^[6] in Washington, D.C, and the Brooklyn Museum, where Yellin's work is part of the permanent collection.^[7] Yellin has likewise participated in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Artist Project.^[8] According to Andrew Durbin, "Yellin has formalized the central task of art—to archive: feelings, objects, events, selves—in his large glass blocks, recalling in their extreme hermeneutical diversity (forms within forms within forms, images within images within images) both as a past in which the representation of the human form was art's most recognizable enterprise and a future in which that enterprise is deeply complicated by the fact that the human form has been shredded, reformatted, revised, and redesigned, made precarious and permeable by technological and ecological shifts."^[9]

In parallel to his studio, Yellin is the Founder and President^[10] of Pioneer Works (PW), a non-profit cultural center in Red Hook, Brooklyn, that "builds community through the arts and sciences to create an open and inspired world".^[10] This "cultural hub and classroom, museum, studio, concert venue, rentable event space and more—spread across 24,000 square feet, three sweeping floors and a 20,000 square-foot garden"^[11] was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2012.^{[citation needed]} This "incubator where painters rub elbows with physicists"^[12] often collaborates with the likes of Google,^[13] and "features influential, Nobel Prize–winning scientists discussing some of science’s great answered questions"^[14] next to art exhibitions, such as PÒTOPRENS^[15] a survey of Haitian art which displayed "numerous monumental figurative sculptures in Pioneer Work’s yawning main space—a vibrant carnivalesque antidote to the classical sculpture courts of western museums".^[16]

Yellin is currently working on a piece entitled The Bridge, the work "aims to repurpose a tool of global energy production to influence conservation policy"^[17] by inverting, and anchoring a 1,000 foot long oil supertanker vertically in a harbor "with the stern pointed at the sky to remind people of the need for humanity to end the fossil fuel era as quickly as possible."^[18] This "ready-made artwork, complete with elevators and a viewing platform for visitors, capturing the sheer scale of our energy system"^[19] is currently being developed with "architect Bjarke Ingels and Arup, the design and engineering firm".^[20]

When he was five years old, he and his mother, a wealthy real estate entrepreneur, moved to [[Telluride, Colorado]].<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/15/nyregion/the-artist-dustin-yellins-big-big-plans-for-red-hook.html An Artist’s Big, Big Plans for Red Hook]</ref> A "congenital outsider,"<ref>{{cite web|title=Inside Dustin Yellin's Brooklyn Factory of Delights|url=http://vanityfair.com/cullture/2015/08/dustin-yellin-art-brooklyn-utopia/|website=vanityfair.com|accessdate=1 October 2016}}{{Dead link|date=May 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> he attended high school in Colorado, but left before graduation because "I wasn’t learning about what I wanted to do".<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/15/nyregion/the-artist-dustin-yellins-big-big-plans-for-red-hook.html An Artist’s Big, Big Plans for Red Hook]</ref> He spent a year studying with a physics instructor, absorbing both the scientific method and an eccentric approach to knowledge. At the physicist's urging, Yellin experimented with hallucinogens. "I felt like I had exploded through the universe—like I had been reduced to a single cell.”<ref>{{cite web|title=Inside Dustin Yellin's Brooklyn Factory of Delights|url=http://vanityfair.com/cullture/2015/08/dustin-yellin-art-brooklyn-utopia/|website=vanityfair.com|accessdate=11 January 2017}}{{Dead link|date=May 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Yellin believes this experience helped shape his artistic worldview and commitment to social change.<ref>{{cite web|title=Inside Dustin Yellin's Brooklyn Factory of Delights|url=http://vanityfair.com/cullture/2015/08/dustin-yellin-art-brooklyn-utopia/|website=vanityfair.com|accessdate=1 October 2016}}{{Dead link|date=May 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Science and consciousness became pivotal themes.

-==Early Works==
-[[File:ERATOID 2007.jpg|thumb|left|220px|''Eratoid'', 2007]]
-Yellin began working with paint and collage. His early work, described as "psycho-repetitious drawings of multi-cellular entities", reveals a preoccupation with the patterned diversity of the natural world.<ref>{{cite web|title=Inside Dustin Yellin's Brooklyn Factory of Delights|url=http://vanityfair.com/cullture/2015/08/dustin-yellin-art-brooklyn-utopia/|website=vanityfair.com|accessdate=11 January 2017}}{{Dead link|date=May 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
-In 1998, Yellin was apprehended by police for trespassing on a [[Central Park]] monument.

-==Process==
-===Technique===
-In 2002, Yellin was working outdoors on a collage, attaching natural materials to canvas with resin, when a bee landed on the center of the piece. Immediately, he poured enough resin to quiet the insect, capturing it entirely.<ref>{{cite web|title=Robertmiller Gallery|url=http://www.robertmillergallery.com/artists/all_artists/yellin/yellin_images/press_release.gif|publisher=www.robertmillergallery.com|accessdate=15 September 2016}}</ref> Once the resin dried, Yellin continued to embellish the piece.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Shuster|first1=Robert|title=Dustin Yellin's 'Dust in the Brain Attic'; Coke Wisdom O'Neal at Mixed Greens; Sophie Calle's 'Take Care of Yourself'|url=http://www.villagevoice.com/2009-05-06/art/dustin-yellin-s-dust-in-the-brain-attic-coke-wisdom-o-neal-at-mixed-greens-sophie-calle-s-take-care-of-yourself/full/|publisher=www.villagevoice.com|accessdate=15 September 2016|date=6 May 2009}}</ref> This apparently mundane accident was a breakthrough, spurring Yellin to further develop the possibilities of resin. He began to pour successive layers to render transparent, multidimensional forms by stacking flat planes of images, one on top of another, to create the effect the bee inspired, of a "hologram trapped in amber."<ref>{{cite web|title=A Red Hook Tale of Domesticity|url=http://nymag.com/homedesign/fall2009/59896/|website=NYMag.com|accessdate=15 September 2016}}</ref>
-===Subject Matter===
-Yellin cites [[Jean Dubuffet]], [[Joseph Beuys]], and [[Joseph Cornell]] as artistic influences. His early work is a phantasmagoric extension of the taxonomic art of the 19th century, focusing on otherworldly mutations of living things, especially plants and insects. Later, larger-scale works translate the mythic, monumental lyricism of ancient cities like [[Petra]], [[Machu Picchu]], and [[Angkor Wat]] into a premonitory vernacular.<ref>{{cite web|title=Dustin Yellin adds his mark in L.A. with art that's a 'missile for social change'|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-et-cm-dustin-yellin-columbia-square-20151031-story.html|website=latimes.com|accessdate=11 January 2017}}</ref> Yellin describes his anthropomorphic ''Psychogeographies'' as products of the imagistic DNA of cultural myth that harmonize with magical reality.<ref>{{cite web|title=Artist Dustin Yellin Opens His First Permanent Installation On Sunset Boulevard|url=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/dustin-yellin-los-angeles-psychogeographies-outdoor-art-installation-sunset-boulevard|website=architecturaldigest.com|accessdate=11 January 2017}}</ref>
-===Materials===
-Yellin's work pushes the boundaries of his materials. To construct larger pieces, Yellin enlisted architect and engineer Tony Durazzo. Soon he was using a forklift in his production process.<ref>{{cite web|title=Inside Dustin Yellin's Brooklyn Factory of Delights|url=http://vanityfair.com/cullture/2015/08/dustin-yellin-art-brooklyn-utopia/|website=vanityfair.com|accessdate=11 January 2017}}{{Dead link|date=May 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> In 2011, Gabriel Florenz, Yellin’s Director of Operations, was injured during transport of a piece when it fell and nearly severed two fingers of his hand.
-The use of [[resin]] allowed Yellin to immerse found objects in layered planes of collage. "This was great," says Yellin in his 2015 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdSosSVEE0I TED talk], "except for one thing: I was going to die."<ref>{{cite web|title=Dustin Yellin, A Journey Through The Mind Of An Artist|url=https://www.ted.com/talks/dustin_yellin_a_journey_through_the_mind_of_an_artist/transcript?language=en|website=ted.com|accessdate=11 January 2017}}</ref> The poisonous resin forced Yellin to wear a [[hazmat suit]] for protection from the vapors. This danger led Yellin to shift from resin to glass panels.<ref>{{cite web|title=Inside Dustin Yellin's Brooklyn Factory of Delights|url=http://vanityfair.com/cullture/2015/08/dustin-yellin-art-brooklyn-utopia/|website=vanityfair.com|accessdate=11 January 2017}}{{Dead link|date=May 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The flatness of the glass changed the work. Yelling could edit, rearrange, and better plan compositions. He culled clippings from mid-twentieth century reference texts and scientific materials,  assembling them into images both recognizable (an animal's torso, a human body) and imaginary (a monstrous bird pinioned to a battleship).<ref>{{cite web|title=Artist Dustin Yellin Opens His First Permanent Installation On Sunset Boulevard|url=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/dustin-yellin-los-angeles-psychogeographies-outdoor-art-installation-sunset-boulevard|website=architecturaldigest.com|accessdate=11 January 2017}}</ref>
-==Works==
-'''''10 Parts''''' (2017) is an oracle of hallucinatory apocalypse, a cautionary tale of chaos and crisis charting humanity's fall from mountainous height to oceanic hollow in an entomological twenty-foot cascade of panels.
-'''''The Triptych''''' (2014) is Yellin’s largest sculpture, a massive 12-ton, three-paneled meditation upon the world and human consciousness.
-'''Psychogeographies''' (2012–present) are a series of life-size humanoids of reanimated cultural detritus whose DNA is, in Yellin's words, the "captured and frozen 'dynamism' of a culture."<ref>{{cite web|title=Psychogeographies: 3D Collages Encased in Layers of Glass by Dustin Yellin|url= http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/03/psychogeographies-3d-collages-encased-in-layers-of-glass-by-dustin-yellin/|website=thisiscolossal.com|accessdate=11 January 2017}}</ref>
-'''''Little Grandfather''''' (2007-2014) is a documentary film Yellin co-directed with photographer Charlotte Kidd. The film depicts the shamanistic healing practice of the [[Achuar]], a once-cannibalistic Amazonian tribe with a shamanistic, polygamous culture.<ref>http://imdb.com/title/tt3016638/</ref> The film was given limited release in 2014.
-'''''Arboreum''''' (2009) features a forest of eight to nine-feet-tall glowing trees and multiple twelve-foot-long sections of a wildflower field.

-Yellin moved his studio to [[Red Hook, Brooklyn]] in 2005. He occupied several increasingly larger buildings, beginning with a single story site on the corner of Van Brunt and Commerce Streets. Larger works spurred a move to 133 Imlay Street, a sprawling space that hosted both his studio and a joint venture between Yellin and Charlotte Kidd, The Kidd Yellin Gallery.<ref>http://foundationcenter.org/grantmakers/fundersforum/endeavorfoundation_2014.html?_ga=1.84963161.1541933999.1462188077{{dead link|date=September 2016}}</ref>
-In 2011, Yellin purchased the three-story brick warehouse structure originally built as Pioneer Iron Works in 1866.<ref>{{cite web|title=Inside Dustin Yellin's Brooklyn Factory of Delights|url=http://vanityfair.com/cullture/2015/08/dustin-yellin-art-brooklyn-utopia/|website=vanityfair.com|accessdate=11 January 2017}}{{Dead link|date=May 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The building required renovation and restoration. With the aid of architect Sam Trimble and Gabriel Florenz, Yellin created a ground floor exhibition space with a forty-foot ceiling, offices, and nearly a dozen studios on the second and third floors. Half of the acre site, originally a concrete slab and junkyard, became a garden.<ref>{{cite web|title=Inside Dustin Yellin's Brooklyn Factory of Delights|url=http://vanityfair.com/cullture/2015/08/dustin-yellin-art-brooklyn-utopia/|website=vanityfair.com|accessdate=11 January 2017}}{{Dead link|date=May 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
