prints featured in David Castillo Gallery’s summer show DCG: Open, 2010
DCG Open
June 12- July 3, 2010
David Castillo Gallery is proud to present DCG Open, a survey exhibition of sixty-seven Miami-based artists. The exhibition includes many of the artists working in Miami for decades as well as many new to the scene. In it, there are dozens of artistic directions and practices. DCG Open, a once-yearly summer show demonstrates that art production in Miami remains at an all-time high. In all of the city’s various periods, there has been one thing that remained a constant in Miami’s culture- an attractive place for artists of all disciplines to create and this, in 2010, remains clearly unabated and undisputed.
The strength and diversity of the artists in DCG Open is massive, impressive, enlightened, and wonderful. Miami has become a place for much discussion regarding the role of the arts, the expansion of private collection museums, the support of public museums, art fairs, the performing arts center, the university museums and everything in between. But in all this, there can only be one center for culture anywhere in the world and that will always remain the artists and their production. DCG Open includes paintings, drawings, videos, photographs, sound, prints, fabric, sculptures, and every manner of art production in between. The group, a sampling of the Miami arts scene, shows training from various corners of the US and the world, including schools like Florida International University, School of Visual Arts New York, University of Miami, Yale, Harvard, New World School of the Arts Miami, University of Florida, San Alejandro in Havana, Corcoran College of Art & Design, Slade School in England, Florida Atlantic University, Ringling College of Art & Design, Rhode Island School of Design, Art Institute of Chicago, California College of Arts & Crafts, Icelandic College of Arts & Crafts, Mason Gross School of Art, Syracuse University, Pratt Institute, Cooper Union, and many others.
