Dustin Yellin (born July 22, 1975 in Los Angeles, California) is a contemporary artist living in Brooklyn, New York.[1] He is known for his work in layered glass in which the artists embeds "hundreds of little pictures, drawings and images clipped out of magazines, art books and the like[2]" to form complex and intricate 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 artists refers to as "Frozen Cinema[4]", have been featured at such notable sites as New York's Lincoln Center[5], the Kennedy Center[6] in Washington D.C as well as at 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].

Joining his photomontage-in-glass work, Yellin is "embarking on what might be the most ambitious and symbolically significant sculpture in history[9]". Entitled The Bridge, the work "aims to repurpose a tool of global energy production to influence conservation policy[10]" 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[11] . This "ready-made artwork, complete with elevators and a viewing platform for visitors, capturing the sheer scale of our energy system[12]" is currently being developed with "architect Bjarke Ingels and Arup, the design and engineering firm[13]".

In parallel to his studio practice, Yellin is the Founder and President[14] of Pioneer Works, an non-profit cultural center in Red Hook, Brooklyn, that "builds community through the arts and sciences to create an open and inspired world[15]". 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[16]" breaks, according to the former CEO of Chanel fashion house, Maureen Chiquet, "the model of siloed education. I’m on the board of Yale—we’re looking at ways to combine art and science and get past brick walls. Dustin is doing all this instinctively, and brilliantly, from scratch[17]." This "incubator where painters rub elbows with physicists[18]" often collaborates with the likes of Google[19] , and "features influential, Nobel Prize–winning scientists discussing some of science’s great answered questions[20]" next to art exhibitions, such as PÒTOPRENS[21], 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[22]".
