Tempus Projects celebrates its 5th Anniversary with a special exhibition entitled Hi-5, Celebrating FIVE years of TEMPUS Projects in Seminole Heights, an exhibition of works on paper with the theme of “FIVE,” as well as featuring some of the favorite and most talented artists from the last five years. At the opening reception gallery officials announce the receipt of its first major grant from the Gobioff Foundation. Additionally, as part of the 5th-anniversary exhibition, there is a special Hi-5 POP-UP Shop at the gallery featuring artist prints, a selection of curated art books from Blue Bird Books Bus, and special limited edition of Tempus Tees created for the Tempus five-year celebration.

This exhibition features new work by Toronto-based painter Jenal Dolson and Brooklyn-based sculptor Nicholas Moenich. Both artists share a deep interest in the complexity of the embodied visual experience with an image or object through a variety of tactile mediums, conflating experiences of the 2D and 3D, and the virtual and the "real." Vibrant color and a serious sense of a curious play characterizes both artists' practice. Curated by Neil Bender, the show brings diverse works together that play with ideas of abstraction and ornamentation in new and exciting ways.

This exhibition features 14 chairs, produced by the students of the University of South Florida's SACD Furniture Design Workshop in Tampa, Florida, co-curated with Tempus Projects with Michael Lemieux. Utilizing a wide array of skills and technologies, from hand-made joinery to digital fabrication, including woodworking, welding, upholstery and more, the students underwent an intensive 8-week program to design and build a finished piece of furniture.

A group exhibition that explores the artists perspective on the basic, varying themes and interpretations of dry...."solid as opposed to liquid," "lacking embellishment,” “having no personal bias or emotional concern,” in various media.

DISLOCATIONS features new work from Brian Taylor, including large-scale woodcut prints on fabric depicting figurative images in unsettling postures. DISLOCATIONS is Brain Taylor’s second solo show at Tempus Projects.

In a carefully crafted combination of nostalgia and disappointment, If You’re Not Getting Better, You’re Getting Worse presents viewers with a collection of recent works by Ryann Slauson. Suggesting elliptical and melancholy narratives pulled from memories, family mythologies, and scraps of popular culture’s iconography, Slauson engages with different materials to create objects, paintings, and prints.

Curated by Tempus co-curator Kurt Piazza, REDUCED / SHELVED is an exhibition of small-scale sculptural works and a collection of art in a unifying palette of predominantly black, white and grey. This juried exhibition was open to all artists, national and international, working in any media including painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, performance, video, film, audio and digital/graphic art.

Curated by Tempus co-curator Kurt Piazza, IN THE FORM OF A PAINTING is an exhibition of work that challenges the notion of the painting medium/format. The show presents a selection of artists who approach the painting as more of a conceptual "object" with limitless possibilities, while some approach painting as a template for combining various techniques and processes.

Tempus Projects held a call for submissions for a one week show to take place in between their Spring exhibitions. Reflective Theory features new work by local artist Jeffrey Agno Chin, who specializes in mixed media printmaking and design. Jeffrey Agno Chin states: "I enjoy exploring my own aesthetic by immersing myself with different mediums. I try to find new ways of creating direction and depth within my pieces. Many of my pieces have a bold statement whether it is with a pop color, the movement within, or the size”.
