The DAO recently acquired a Dustin Yellin sculpture (See Proposals 48 and 350). Part of the agreement was for Dustin Yellin Studio to help us show the piece in prominent locations. This proposal is to fund the transportation and installation for the first location. Dustin Yellin Studio is requesting 9ETH to cover the expense of crating, transporting, and installing the 3,000 lb sculpture in the foyer of the main dining room of the Manhattan social club, Zero Bond, and back to the artist's Brooklyn studio at the conclusion of the loan period. The expected loan period will be 1-3 years, during which time Dustin Yellin Studio will work on additional loan placements for the work at museums and relevant cultural institutions worldwide.
Relatedly, earlier this month Yellin partnered with OpenSea and Friends With Benefits on an open edition set of NFT's to commemorate the completion of his Nouns sculpture. 15% of the total proceeds from the primary sale - 4.027ETH - have been donated by the artist to the Nouns DAO Treasury: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x40d94b6d84024b4b903b53f3f04238b979645eb8d837eef358820ac9f318eb5b
