Dustin Yellin: Politics of Eternity
Bruce Museum
July 25, 2026 — March 14, 2027 | Greenwich, CT
Dustin Yellin: Politics of Eternity gathers the artist’s monumental sculpture with a group of related works, together charting a future that mirrors the past.
In subject and practice, Yellin’s work defies conventional boundaries. Handcrafted yet technical, specific yet universal, fantastic yet scientific, each of Yellin’s two- and three-dimensional artworks embody his singular voice and vision. In this exhibition, Politics of Eternity (2020), a masterful, eleven-foot-long, seven-part sculpture, is shown alongside related works that extend its imagining of a future that mirrors the past into new narrative and creative dimensions. These include collages, small glass studies, and paintings that explore the seen and unseen impact of civilization’s progress on the natural world. By bringing together these dynamic and complex works, Dustin Yellin: Politics of Eternity offers viewers of all ages and interests countless avenues of exploration and examination.
Dustin Yellin: Politics of Eternity is organized by the American Federation of Arts. The presentation at the Bruce Museum is organized by Jordan Hillman, Assistant Curator of Art. Generous support is provided by The Simone McEntire Charitable Fund and Salon Dada.
Dustin Yellin: Psychogeographies
Lowe Art Museum
February 27, 2027 — January 2, 2027 | Miami, FL
An insatiably curious, interdisciplinary thinker, Dustin Yellin references an array of artistic movements, historical figures, cultural touchstones, and natural phenomena in his work. Enlightenment taxonomies, natural history, political science, entomology, Dadaism, Surrealism, and deep time reverberate through his Psychogeographies, as do the self-contained universes of Joseph Cornell’s (1903-1972) iconic “box” assemblages and the harrowing yet compelling hell-on-earth paintings of Hieronymus Bosch (ca. 1450-1516). Like the three examples featured at the Lowe, Yellin’s multi-media sculptures oscillate seamlessly between two and three dimensions, exploiting the full expressive potential of collage, painting, and glass and, ultimately, revealing a cartography of cultural DNA through their materiality.
Dustin Yellin: Psychogeographies was made possible by the Palley Family; Linnie E. Dalbeck Foundation; the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade Mayor and Board of County Commissioners; Mosaicist, Inc.; the Lowe Advisory Council; the City of Coral Gables; Beaux Arts Miami; and Lowe Members. This exhibition was sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts.
