12 MIAMI ARTISTS HEADLINE MAJOR SHOW AT THE FROST ART MUSEUM FIU FOR 10th ANNIVERSARY KICK OFF Deconstruction: A Reordering of Life, Politics and Art  Opening Celebration with the Artists: Saturday, July 14 (4:00-7:00 p.m.) On view through September 30 This show opens July 14 and confronts timely issues. "A Reordering of Life, Politics and Art" comes from the prophetic messages in the 1967 book The Society of the Spectacle. More than fifty years ago, this book foreshadowed our reliance on isolating hand-held technology and the twenty-four-hour news cycle that dominates our times. The author Guy Debord warned about "a future world where social interactions become too influenced by images that would prevent us from direct personal contact." These twelve artists are boldly confronting global issues that are newsworthy including current events in the frenetic social media stream. These artists open a window that allows us to step back and take a long, hard look at our world today.
