James Kalm is scurrying around Chelsea on a Thursday night trying to squeeze in as much art viewing as possible when…He spies some enigmatic and mysterious sculptures that provoke his curiosity.   Cuban artist Yoan Capote's exhibition "Collective Unconscious" is a selection of sculpture, and drawings that explore questions of control, social structure, suppression, and the notion of a utopian nationhood.  Although, as with most Kalm Reports, this was an unplanned peripatetic review and documentation, luck would have it that the artist was giving students a tour of the show and your correspondent was privileged to record it for this presentation.  Although the work has a polemical bite and a sharp political resonance, it's allegoric and poetic forms keep it from falling it to the category of straight propaganda.  A musical introduction by Brazilian Music Soul was recorded live at B.B. King's on 42nd Street.
