I was raised by lesbians in the mountains,

Podigle su me lezbejke u planinama
00:14
and I sort of came like a forest gnome
to New York City a while back.

i nalik šumskom patuljku,
došao sam u Njujork nešto kasnije.

00:19
Really messed with my head,
but I'll get into that later.

Stvarno uvrnute glave,
a doći ću i do toga kasnije.
a doći ću i do toga kasnije.
00:24
I'll start with when
I was eight years old.
I was eight years old.

Počeću od perioda kada sam
imao osam godina.
imao osam godina.
00:27
I took a wood box,
5
15739
1916
Uzeo sam drvenu kutiju
00:29
and I buried a dollar bill, a pen
and a fork inside this box in Colorado.
and a fork inside this box in Colorado.

i stavio u nju
novčanicu od jednog dolara,
novčanicu od jednog dolara,
hemijsku i viljušku u Koloradu.
00:35
And I thought some strange humanoids
or aliens in 500 years would find this box
or aliens in 500 years would find this box
7
23131
5584
Mislio sam da će
neki čudni humanoidi ili vanzemaljci
neki čudni humanoidi ili vanzemaljci
za 500 godina naći tu kutiju
00:40
and learn about the way
our species exchanged ideas,
our species exchanged ideas,
8
28739
4526
i shvatiti kako naša vrsta
razmenjuje ideje,
razmenjuje ideje,
00:45
maybe how we ate our spaghetti.
9
33289
2034
možda kako smo jeli špagete.
00:47
I really didn't know.
10
35347
1332
Stvarno nisam znao šta.
Bilo kako bilo, ovo je malo čudno,
00:49
Anyway, this is kind of funny,
11
37401
1437
00:50
because here I am, 30 years later,
and I'm still making boxes.
and I'm still making boxes.
12
38862
4347
jer evo me, 30 godina kasnije,
a i dalje pravim kutije.
a i dalje pravim kutije.
00:56
Now, at some point I was in Hawaii --
13
44289
2983
U jednom trenutku, bio sam na Havajima -
00:59
I like to hike and surf
and do all that weird stuff,
and do all that weird stuff,
14
47296
2502
volim da pešačim, surfujem
i radim te čudne stvari -
i radim te čudne stvari -
01:01
and I was making a collage for my ma.
15
49822
2092
i pravio sam kolaž za svoju mamu.
01:04
And I took a dictionary
and I ripped it up,
and I ripped it up,
16
52350
2088
Uzeo sam rečnik, pocepao ga na deliće
01:06
and I made it into a sort
of Agnes Martin grid,
of Agnes Martin grid,
17
54462
2735
i napravio neku vrstu rešetke
Agnes Martin,
Agnes Martin,
01:09
and I poured resin all over it
and a bee got stuck.
and a bee got stuck.
18
57221
2571
sipao sam smolu preko nje
i pčela se zaglavila u njoj.
i pčela se zaglavila u njoj.
01:11
Now, she's afraid of bees
and she's allergic to them,
and she's allergic to them,
19
59816
2718
E, sad, ona se plaši pčela
i alergična je na njih,
i alergična je na njih,
01:14
so I poured more resin on the canvas,
thinking I could hide it or something.
thinking I could hide it or something.
20
62558
4235
pa sam sipao još smole na platno,
misleći da ću moći da je sakrijem.
misleći da ću moći da je sakrijem.
Umesto toga, desilo se suprotno -
01:18
Instead, the opposite happened:
21
66817
1540
to je stvorilo uvećanje kao kroz lupu
01:20
It sort of created a magnification,
22
68381
1682
01:22
like a magnifying glass,
on the dictionary text.
on the dictionary text.
23
70087
2388
na tekstu rečnika.
01:25
So what did I do? I built more boxes.
24
73278
2222
Šta sam uradio? Napravio sam još kutija.
01:27
This time, I started putting
electronics, frogs,
electronics, frogs,
25
75958
3904
Ovog puta, počeo sam
da stavljam elektroniku, žabe,
da stavljam elektroniku, žabe,
01:31
strange bottles I'd find in the street --
anything I could find --
anything I could find --
26
79886
3547
čudne boce koje bih našao na ulici -
bilo šta što bih mogao da nađem -
bilo šta što bih mogao da nađem -
01:35
because I was always
finding things my whole life,
finding things my whole life,
27
83457
2349
zato što sam uvek nalazio stvari,
celog svog života,
celog svog života,
01:37
and trying to make relationships
and tell stories between these objects.
and tell stories between these objects.
28
85830
3638
i pokušavao da izgradim odnose
i ispričam priče između ovih predmeta.
i ispričam priče između ovih predmeta.
01:41
So I started drawing around the objects,
29
89896
2381
Počeo sam da crtam oko ovih predmeta
01:44
and I realized: Holy moly,
I can draw in space!
I can draw in space!
30
92301
3312
i shvatio: „Hej, pa ja crtam u prostoru!”
01:47
I can make free-floating lines,
31
95637
1999
Mogu da nacrtam linije slobodnom rukom
slične onima koje biste povukli
oko mrtvog tela na mestu zločina.
oko mrtvog tela na mestu zločina.
01:49
like the way you would draw
around a dead body at a crime scene.
around a dead body at a crime scene.
32
97660
3023
01:52
So I took the objects out,
33
100707
1276
Izvadio sam predmete
01:54
and I created my own taxonomy
of invented specimens.
of invented specimens.
34
102007
2965
i stvorio sopstvenu nomenklaturu
izmišljenih vrsta.
izmišljenih vrsta.
01:57
First, botanical --
which you can kind of get a sense of.
which you can kind of get a sense of.
35
105460
3314
Kao prvo, botaničke,
o kojima možete steći nekakvu predstavu.

02:01
Then I made some
weird insects and creatures.
weird insects and creatures.
36
109520
3140
Zatim sam napravio neke čudne
insekte i stvorenja.
insekte i stvorenja.
02:05
It was really fun; I was just
drawing on the layers of resin.
drawing on the layers of resin.
37
113992
2874
Stvarno je bilo zabavno; samo sam crtao
po slojevima smole.
po slojevima smole.
02:08
And it was cool, because I was actually
starting to have shows and stuff,
starting to have shows and stuff,
38
116890
3458
Bilo je kul jer sam počeo
da dobijam nastupe i takve stvari.
da dobijam nastupe i takve stvari.
02:12
I was making some money,
I could take my girlfriend for dinner,
I could take my girlfriend for dinner,
39
120372
2972
Zarađivao sam kintu, mogao sam
da izvedem devojku na večeru
da izvedem devojku na večeru
02:15
and like, go to Sizzler.
40
123368
1255
u, na primer, Sizler.
02:16
It was some good shit, man.
41
124647
1405
Vraški dobro, čoveče.
02:18
(Laughter)
42
126076
1628
(Smeh)
02:19
At some point, I got up to the human form,
43
127728
3906
U jednom trenutku,
stigao sam do ljudskog oblika,
stigao sam do ljudskog oblika,
02:23
life-size resin sculptures
with drawings of humans inside the layers.
with drawings of humans inside the layers.
44
131658
4627
skulpture od smole u prirodnoj veličini
sa crtežima ljudi unutar slojeva.
sa crtežima ljudi unutar slojeva.
02:28
This was great, except for one thing:
45
136309
2459
Bilo je sjajno, osim jedne stvari -
02:30
I was going to die.
46
138792
1250
umro bih.
02:32
I didn't know what to do,
because the resin was going to kill me.
because the resin was going to kill me.
47
140536
3063
Nisam znao šta da radim
jer me je smola ubijala.
jer me je smola ubijala.
02:35
And I went to bed every night
thinking about it.
thinking about it.
48
143623
2313
Išao sam na spavanje svako veče
misleći o tome.
misleći o tome.
02:37
So I tried using glass.
49
145960
2492
Tako sam pokušao da koristim staklo.
02:40
I started drawing on the layers of glass,
50
148476
1989
Počeo sam da crtam na slojevima stakla,
02:42
almost like if you drew on a window,
then you put another window,
then you put another window,
51
150489
3072
skoro kao da crtate na prozoru,
onda stavite još jedan prozor,
onda stavite još jedan prozor,
02:45
and another window, and you had
all these windows together
all these windows together
52
153585
2743
pa još jedan i imate
sve ove prozore zajedno
sve ove prozore zajedno
02:48
that made a three-dimensional composition.
53
156352
2135
koji su stvarali
trodimenzionalnu kompoziciju.
trodimenzionalnu kompoziciju.
02:50
And this really worked,
because I could stop using the resin.
because I could stop using the resin.
54
158511
2933
Ovo je stvarno funkcionisalo
jer sam prestao sa korišćenjem smole.
jer sam prestao sa korišćenjem smole.
02:53
So I did this for years,
55
161937
1381
Tako sam ovo radio godinama,
02:55
which culminated in a very large work,
which I call "The Triptych."
which I call "The Triptych."
56
163342
4435
što je kulminiralo u ogromnom delu
koje zovem „Triptih”.

03:00
"The Triptych" was largely inspired

by Hieronymus Bosch's
"[The] Garden of Earthly Delights,"

Da li vi, narode, znate za ovu sliku?
03:09
Good, it's a cool painting.
61
177404
1293
Super. To je kul slika.
03:10
It's kind of ahead of its time, they say.
62
178721
1974
Nekako je ispred svog vremena, kažu.
03:12
So, "The Triptych."
I'll walk you through this piece.

63

Dakle, „Triptih”.
Sprovešću vas kroz ovo delo.

03:18
It's 18 feet long.

Dug je 5,5 metara.
03:20
It's double-sided,
so it's 36 feet of composition.

03:23
It's kind of weird.
67
191681
1158
Pomalo je čudan.
03:26
Well, that's the blood fountain.
68
194648
2412
Pa, to je fontana krvi.
03:29
(Laughter)

Postoji pećina odakle sva ova stvorenja

82
230034
2343
možete naći svakojake čudne stvari
u okeanu
u okeanu
04:04
if you look really hard, in the ocean.
83
232401
1967
ako se zagledate.
04:06
Anyway, this is a lady creature.
84
234741
2419
Ovo je žensko stvorenje.
04:09
She's coming out of the ocean,
and she's spitting oil into one hand

86
240658

04:15
Her hands are like scales,
87
243199

Njene ruke su kao vage,

To je, dakle, jedna strana „Triptiha”,
04:22
So that's one side of "The Triptych."
89
250070
1811
04:23
It's a little narrative thing.
90
251905
1460
mala pripovedačka stvar.
04:25
That's her hand that she's spitting into.
91
253389
2080
Ovo je njena ruka u koju pljuje.
04:28
And then, when you go to the other side,
92
256190
1916
Zatim, kada odete na drugu stranu,
04:30
she has like a trunk, like a bird's beak,

ona je nalik stablu, ptičijem kljunu

and she's spitting clouds
out of her trunk.

04:41
(Laughter)
97
269759
1077
(Smeh)
04:42
I don't know why that happened.
98
270860
1688
Ne znam zašto se to desilo.
04:44
(Laughter)
99
272572
1558
(Smeh)
Takve stvari se dešavaju, znate.
04:46
That happens, you know.

Her tail terminates

Jeste li ih videli nekad?
04:54
Have you guys seen those?
103
282524
1205
04:55
They were made in the 1980's,
they're like baseball cards of terrorists.
they're like baseball cards of terrorists.
104
283753
3398
Napravljene su osamdesetih,
nešto kao bejzbol sličice za teroriste.
Daleko ispred njihovog vremena.
04:59
Way ahead of their time.
105
287175

05:02
That will bring you to my latest project.
107
290715
1997
05:04
I'm in the middle of two projects:
108
292736
1653
Trenutno sam usred dva projekta.
05:06
One's called "Psychogeographies."
109
294413
1620
Jedan se zove „Psihogeografije”.
To je projekat od oko 6 godina,
koliko je potrebno za 100 ljudi.

05:08
It's about a six-year project
to make 100 of these humans.

05:11
Each one is an archive of our culture,
111
299161
2370
Svaki od njih je arhiva naše kulture,
05:13
through our ripped-up media and matter,

sav sadržaj koji tamo stvorimo u svetu,

We shake this box up,

Mislim da je ovo način
na koji se svet menja.

06:59
You redefine your insides

150
407151
3882
Ponovo definišete svoju unutrašnjost
i kutiju u kojoj živite

07:03
And you come together to realize
that we're all in this together,

411057
3564
i saberete se da biste shvatili
da smo u ovome zajedno,

07:08
this idea of countries, of borders,
of religion -- doesn't work.

Napravljeni smo od istog materijala,
u istoj kutiji.

Ako ne počnemo to da razmenjujemo
na nežan i fin način,

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.
