One of our favorite things to do at Native Ken is checking out all the latest art exhibitions only a few blocks away from our Chelsea shop. The Jack Shainman Gallery is one of the reasons we love seeing what’s new, as their latest show Yoan Capote: Collective Unconscious, is a certified Native Ken recommendation.

Collective Unconscious explores history and the distinctive ways in which shared social experiences influence the individual. Drawing on Carl Jung’s assertion that a person’s behavior and thoughts maintain an unconscious link with the past and its archetypes, Capote delves into his Cuban nationality while speaking to a universal experience. In these recent works, he investigates cultural symbols—exposing their fissures, revelling in their inherent contradictions, and imploring the viewer to reconsider the acceptance of history as absolute truth.
