to New York City a while back.
kao šumski patuljak,
but I'll get into that later.
ali kasnije ću o tome.
I was eight years old.
osme godine.
and a fork inside this box in Colorado.
zakopao to u Coloradu.
or aliens in 500 years would find this box
izvanzemaljci za 500 godina naći tu kutiju
our species exchanged ideas,
naša vrsta razmijenjivala informacije,
and I'm still making boxes.
još uvijek izrađujem kutije.
sam na Havajima --
and do all that weird stuff,
sve te čudne stvari
and I ripped it up,
of Agnes Martin grid,
u stilu Agnes Martin
and a bee got stuck.
pa se pčela zaljepila.
and she's allergic to them,
thinking I could hide it or something.
ju moći sakriti ili nešto slično.
on the dictionary text.
electronics, frogs,
stavljati elektroniku, žabe,
anything I could find --
ulici -- bilo što na što sam naišao --
finding things my whole life,
života nalazio stvari,
and tell stories between these objects.
ispričati priču tih predmeta.
I can draw in space!
mogu crtati u prostoru!
around a dead body at a crime scene.
trupla na mjestu zločina.
of invented specimens.
taksonomiju izmišljenih vrsta.
which you can kind of get a sense of.
koju možete shvatiti.
weird insects and creatures.
čudne kukce i stvorenja.
drawing on the layers of resin.
samo sam crtao po slojevima smole.
starting to have shows and stuff,
počeo održavati izložbe i slično,
I could take my girlfriend for dinner,
sam izvesti djevojku na večeru,
došao do ljudskog obličja,
with drawings of humans inside the layers.
s crtežima ljudi unutar slojeva.
because the resin was going to kill me.
jer me smola ubijala.
thinking about it.
krevet misleći o tome.
then you put another window,
zatim stavite drugi prozor
all these windows together
because I could stop using the resin.
mogao prestati koristiti smolu.
which I call "The Triptych."
koje sam nazvao "Triptih".
"[The] Garden of Earthly Delights,"
Hieronymusa Boscha,
in the [Museo del] Prado in Spain.
Prado u Španjolskoj.
I'll walk you through this piece.
provest ću vas kroz djelo.
so it's 36 feet of composition.
kompozicija od 11 metara.
Jesus and the locusts.
se Isus i skakavci.
travel between two worlds.
glavama putuju između dva svijeta.
where they're hiding.
are by the lighthouse,
glavama kraj svjetionika
mass suicide into the ocean.
samoubojstvo skakanjem u ocean.
of thousands of elements.
tied up to a battleship.
Waldo; Osama Bin Laden's shelter --
nafte, Waldo, sklonište Osame Bin Ladena-
that you can find
and she's spitting oil into one hand
coming out of her other hand.
of the Earth and cosmos in balance.
Zemlje i svemira u ravnoteži.
poput ptičjeg kljuna
out of her trunk.
tail that connects "The Triptych."
rep koji povezuje "Triptih".
from the back of the volcano.
stražnje strane vulkana.
in a cycloptic eyeball,
očnoj jabučici kiklopa
terorističkih karti iz 1986-e.
they're like baseball cards of terrorists.
kao bejzbolske kartice terorista.
zadnjeg projekta.
to make 100 of these humans.
za izradu 100 ovih ljudi.
or dictionaries or magazines.
ili riječnicima, ili časopisima.
in the shape of a human,
arhiv u obliku čovjeka
of 20, 4, or 12 at a time.
they come together, they divide.
dolaze zajedno, razdvajaju se.
It's taking me years.
Traje godinama.
a 3,000-pound microscope slide
mikroskopsko stakalce
you can kind of see the beginning.
možete na neki način vidjeti početak.
coming out of his chest,
or whatever it is,
ili što god to bilo,
you can kind of see it.
between the two heads.
from this weird statue.
na ovoj neobičnoj skulpturi.
inside the chest cavity.
the solar system is a box.
sunčev sustav je kutija.
It's called Pioneer Works.
Zove se "Pionirska Djela".
a museum, a school,
the content we make there into the world;
sadržaj koji tamo činimo u svijet,
hitting each other like particles.
jedni o druge kao čestice.
you change the world.
mijenjanja svijeta.
and the box that you're living in.
unutrašnjost i kutiju u kojoj živite.
that we're all in this together,
smo svi zajedno u ovome,
of religion -- doesn't work.
religije -- ne funkcionira.
of the same stuff, in the same box.
u istoj kutiji.
exchanging that stuff sweetly and nicely,
stvari lijepo i ljubazno
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dustin Yellin - SculptorAcclaimed for his monumental “sculptural paintings,” Dustin Yellin now nurtures voices in the art community with Pioneer Works, his mammoth Brooklyn art center.
Why you should listen
Dustin Yellin’s mesmerizing glass sculptures explode collage into three dimensional forms, and have won him accolades from all over the art world. From early works of layered resin, Yellin’s sculptures increased in size (and weight), culminating in the 12-ton, three-paneled The Triptych.
But Yellin’s most ambitious project may be Pioneer Works, a colossal, 27,000-square-foot artist’s complex and foundation in Red Hook, Brooklyn. With its residencies, workshops and on-site science lab, Pioneer Works cultivates cross-disciplinary experimentation regardless of profit potential.
