Local spotlight: DCG Open 2012

In "Steven," a sculpture by the artist known as Sleeper, a plastic arm reaches up from the side of a pedestal and rests its hand atop a pile of neatly folded clothes. Hanging directly across the room is "Reflux," a big, colorful sculpture by Lucinda Linderman that's made from old clothes wound together with consumer packaging and resembles intestines.

Jonathan Rockford's "Nadir" at DCG Open 2012 at David Castillo Gallery.

On another wall, David Zalben's "C'est la Vie" features a long string of words about love and change made from bent wire. It drapes down to a slab on the floor, where it circles around and around.

These are a few of the 19 works that Brandi Reddick, the artists and communications manager for the Miami-Dade Art in Public Places Program and the curator of the Miami-Dade Public Art Collection, selected for the "DCG Open 2012," the David Castillo Gallery's annual summer survey of South Florida artists.
