ESSENTIAL ARTIST SERIES 11: DUSTIN YELLIN
Essential Artists Series 11 features the work of Brooklyn-based Artist Dustin Yellin. Through narrative and visual transfiguration, Yellin teases the tension between nature and technology.
The artist tells stories that weave together the idea of how both the human world, and the other worlds of critters, plants, and rocks have always already been a collection of enmeshed networks - even if many are hidden. As a bridge toward a more holistic world, the artist balances descriptive poetry with a prescriptive social practice so as to span new ways of seeing and being.
Dustin Yellin is the founder of Pioneer Works, an artist and scientist-led cultural center in New York, dedicated to experimentation and education. Discover more about the collab here.
