✨ Great to stop by this years edition of the Spring Break Art Show with the HIDE N SEEK theme in an all new location with 120 UNIQUE EXHIBITIONS made exclusively in response to today’s obsessions and regressions, be they aesthetical, ethical, and or poetical. Congrats to @ambrekelly + @andrewgoriandfriends for keeping this going for 15 ❣️years now. We need to see The New.

"Man Makes Plans" is a boardroom populated with outsiders responding to decisions already made, where artists Jesus Benavente and David Howe use political spectacle, humor, disaster imagery, and social exchange to explore the fragility embedded within power, the resilience found in resourcefulness, and how nature can unravel even the most carefully laid plans.

Jesus Benavente's interdisciplinary approach uses a disarming charismatic casualness that meets viewers where they are and tilts their understanding of the world they know to be true. His works blur distinctions between art history, culture, and collective everyday life, accumulating into a visual record of labor, memory, humor, and persistence. Humor becomes a form of connection, inviting participation while softening the boundaries between himself and the viewer. Visitors move through the works gathering meaning from fragments, stories, and repeated images to bring them to precipice of where he is asking them to be. Then he dares them to make the leap.

In SPRING/BREAK’s Man Makes Plans, Jesus Benavente and David Howe's work are in an active boardroom, exploring the fragility of power, human adaptation, and nature’s indifference to our plans.
