In April 2022, Yellin was commissioned by NounsDAO to create Person, Place or Thing, a sculptural portrait that layered each Nouns avatar into one fantastic body. For the commission, Yellin hand painted the 402 Nouns minted in Year One, integrating them into an artwork to forge a record of the history of Nouns DAO.
Dustin Yellin (B. 1975, California) lives in Brooklyn, New York, and is the Founder and President of Pioneer Works. Yellin 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.
His multidisciplinary approach tunnels across traditionally siloed fields so as to capture and crystalize the diverse forces of nature and machine. Through a body of work, which includes object making, animation, pedagogy, and the forming of institutions, Yellin draws attention to the paradox of how everyone and everything is interconnected, and yet alienated at the same time.
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.
