October 28-December 26 | Leave Your Body and Soul at the Door
Tempus Projects is pleased to present Leave Your Body and Soul at the Door. Through a range of media, these thirteen regional and national artists tackle themes of identity, exclusion, discrimination, imposed limitations, and denial of body autonomy. As a birthright in the United States, we learn to play by a delineated set of patriarchal rules—rules that insist on leaving oneself out of the equation and going above and beyond just to break even.
Please join us on Saturday, October 30 for a members-only cocktail hour at 6pm, with our opening reception to follow from 7-9pm, as well as a Dead Man's Party setlist from DJ Gabe Echazabal and a special performance by Noisy Womxn!
Costumes encouraged!
Leave Your Body and Soul at the Door will be open for a press preview and special guests on October 28 by invitation and closes on December 26.
Tempus Projects is located at 4220 N. Florida Ave.
Masks required in the gallery, please.

We invite you to play your part and purchase incredible works of art at dynamite prices, all for a great cause!
In what feels more like a segment on The Price is Right than a big art heist, we invite you to experience, bid, and purchase works of art in support of Collar Works' mission. This exhibition in our main gallery is a rare opportunity to showcase the talented artists behind the Collar Works family, together with an artist they admire, and invite to share space while engaging in conversation around spirited contemporary art. Works will be available for sale throughout the duration of the show. For works in the auction, bidding begins on June 18th and ends on July 17th. In conjunction with The Big Take, we have over 50 artists exhibiting and selling works in our online exhibit Take It or Lose It.

Join us for the final night of the auction and to celebrate Collar Works and the community at the ART PARTY of the summer on Saturday, July 17th! It’s going to be a steal!

APRIL 19-25, 2021: REFLECTING ON CHANGE: HOW DOES THIS FEEL? at Coco Hunday, Tampa FL
FOR IMMEDITATE RELEASE:
Reflecting on Change: How does this feel?
In these bizarre and unpredictable times with a global pandemic, an insurrection, continuous
battling for basic human rights, and more, we are forced to reflect on the state of the world, of
the U.S. and ways to cope through these incidents. “Reflecting on change: How does this
feel?” is a multimedia exhibition featuring the work of contemporary artists: Cynthia Mason,
Eugene Ag., and Cindy Leung at Coco Hunday. This exhibition will show artwork using
juxtaposing un-traditionally fine art materials to grapple with identity and the tactility of
materials in new, innovative ways. This exhibition will feature a resurgence of craft media that
has been transformed into contemporary practices over the past decade. By using these
alternative mediums and techniques, artists are able to intertwine both material exploration and
personal histories to share their varied experiences as a reflection of the times.
Curators, Krystle Lemonias and Aimee Jones are MFA candidates at the University of South
Florida. This exhibition will host a virtual opening through IG live
on https://www.instagram.com/psychicjacuzzi/. Krystle will moderate a discussion with each
artist about their works and art practices. Follow @psychicjacuzzi all week to learn more about
the featured artists and their works. We also welcome in person visitors during this opening
who follows social distancing guidelines and with a face mask.
Reflecting on Change: How does this feel? opening reception/virtual artist talk at Coco Hunday

SKINS IN IT
NEIL BENDER & CYNTHIA MASON
January 28-March 5, 2021
Exhibition at Art Center Sarasota
Virtual Opening: TBA
The exhibition ‘Skins in It’ is an installation of multi-media works that deal primarily with the experience of the body—both imagistically and metaphorically—through a variety of means.
Neil Bender’s work is interested in the complexity of sexuality and the body through paper and paint, making flattened images that play with the shallow spaces of slightly-overlapping images, and the shallow spaces of popular cultural vernaculars. Recent images range from small-scale collages and sketchbook drawings to shaped, cut-paper garments, and large, expansive wall murals.
Cynthia Mason’s low-relief and sculptural wall pieces deal with a plethora of materials to crate abstract forms that riff off of grids and known structures that are uncanny and disarming. Some of the soft sculptures recall solid objects (handbags and shoes), but lack rigidity. Some recall the body, but lack smooth contours. Sewn from coarse fabrics and stuffed with shredded documents, they bloat and pudge. Gender is rendered in provocative shapes noisily on display, questioning gender performance in politics and how we consume it.
Both artists use whimsy and serious play to make viewers aware of the potency of negotiating and reconciling art amongst other bodies in public spaces.
The variety of scales and shapes of both artists’ work lends to creative hangings and relationships. The imagined asymmetrical and challenging hanging of the show is emphasized by the rectilinear quality of the gallery space.
A site-specific atmospheric wall painting serves as a stage for the actors (the paintings, drawings, and sculptures) to have enhanced dialogues—revealing a kinetic, tactile, and immersive collaborative experience that is sensorily-engaging, ribald, and pleasurable.

what we create may save us
The Great Oxygenation Event, which occurred approximately 2.3 billion years ago, radically altered the earth’s atmosphere. It made possible the development of more complex and diverse forms of life, even as it caused those dependent upon previous conditions to die off. This global transformation was brought about by cyanobacteria, which use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy and release oxygen as a byproduct. For reasons that are not entirely clear, the cyanobacteria began to produce oxygen in quantities sufficient to overwhelm the “sinks” - environmental factors that absorb oxygen and prevent it from accumulating in the atmosphere. Increased levels of free oxygen eventually gave rise to things that could breathe, and led to the extinction of things that could not.
Today, we find ourselves at another atmosphere-defining crossroads, both figuratively and literally. We face grave threats to the survival of our democracy, our health, and our planet. As we grapple with painful aspects of our history, navigate our increasingly fraught relationship with the truth, adjust to existential dangers posed by simple human contact, and recognize our role in the destruction of the environment, we ask ourselves what part we can play in transforming our toxic atmosphere. As artists, we take up the mantle of the cyanobacteria to which we owe our existence. We filter our inspirations through encounters with the natural and built worlds, the past and the future, the unknown and the familiar, and the beautiful and the ridiculous. We release the byproducts of our observation, alienation, humor, skepticism, joy, anger, hope, and disillusion into the atmosphere in an effort to overwhelm the sinks of complacency, greed, ignorance, and hate.
Our individual expressions come together in a collective display of what matters to us. When so many of our connections to people and places have been interrupted or broken, we send our creations into the world as proxies through which we can still convey meaning and participate in conversation. At the same time, we long for the togetherness of Wayfarers (brooklynwayfarers.org), the cooperative studio program and gallery in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, that is responsible for bringing this group of artists into the same oxygenated orbit. As we prepare to bid it farewell with this final Member Exhibition before it closes its doors in December, we acknowledge the bittersweet reality that even things that can breathe must eventually die, but only after they have first lived.
Cranes in August
They clutter the house,
awkwardly folded, unable
to rise. My daughter makes
and makes them, having heard
the old story: what we create
may save us. I string
a long line of them over
the window. Outside
the gray doves bring
their one vowel to the air,
the same sound
from many throats, repeated.

The concept of “wilderness,” untamed land lacking conspicuous traces of human activity, has existed as an essential fantasy in the American psyche. True wilderness may be physically disappearing every day but that does not stop us from recrafting wilderness from scratch so that we may explore and escape. As part of an artist exchange, five American artists from the Wayfarers collective in Brooklyn, New York create an exhibition of new works at Art Lab Tokyo. These new works, developed in the US, and curated by the artists, explores wilderness graphically and metaphorically.
For the artists wilderness is often experienced on a journey undertaken in cars or on foot, with provisions, with maps and with guides pointing to the unknown. Expectations of grandeur and of a primal privacy are triggered. The government may have preserved these wild areas in advance for us. New encounters with plants and animals are anticipated. These are experienced with loved ones and become new memories and future secrets.
When we think we have finally arrived in wilderness we often trip over the leavings of another explorer. A shock (or disappointment) that we are not alone and are perhaps being watched. Or did the previous explorer perish? Unexpectedly, someone else’s garbage can comfort, a handhold against an abyss as we peer over the cliffs, trudge in the woods, or listen to the stars.

Mason, a local artist from St. Petersburg, FL, was recently seen in the renowned Skyway exhibition at area museums.

JULY 28-AUGUST 19, 2018: Color at BWAC, Brooklyn, NY
Juror: Marcela Guerrero, Assistant Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
“In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is—as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art. In order to use color effectively it is necessary to recognize that color deceives continually. Color is “passive,” “deceptive,” and “unstable,” color behaves, color is magic.” – Joseph Albers, Interaction of Color

All Florida Invitational at Boca Raton Museum of Art
bocamuseum.org
The Boca Raton Museum of Art’s annual All Florida exhibition, which has been presented at the Museum since 1951, has long been a hallmark for artists in the Sunshine State. Artists creating in all media eagerly await the opening of the show’s submission period year after year, now they can look forward to an invitation. As an institution founded by artists, a more appropriate way to honor and present the artists in the state is to adapt the format to introduce an artist-centered curatorial selection committee. Participants in this year's All Florida Invitational were selected by a panel of five internationally-recognized, Florida-based artists. Each of these distinguished artists then selected five early-career artists also working in our state. The All Florida Invitational brings the work of the artist-selection committee alongside the work of the artists they believe show great promise.

EyeSplice Collective
Prepare NOW
In this group exhibition, EyeSplice Collective members creatively examine the weather. Whether it is the personal experience of observing a clearing storm, the tenuous reality of living in a drought state, or charting the wind patterns of a small town in West Virginia, each member of the Collective explores her relationship to the sky. In an age of alarmist, shouting headlines on the Weather Channel alongside the actualities of climate change, this exhibition seeks to balance the chaos of public knowledge with the intimacy of personal experience.
EyeSplice Collective was formed in 2012 by Megan Hildebrandt as a group of highquality, allfemale international artists. Coming out of a mostlymale MFA program, Hildebrandt was starved for female talent, rigor, and community. Since the inception of EyeSplice, the collective has exhibited, lectured, and show films in a variety of venues: The Cultural Center of Spain in Panama, The Mom Gallery in Austin, The Radiator Gallery in Queens, HEREarts Center in Manhattan, and the Morean Arts Center in St. Petersburg, FL.
