Kime Contemporary presents ”Snoopy Tattoo” a fine art exhibition featuring the newest work by Dallas's favorite son, Henry Swanson. Show opens Friday, July 6th and is on view from 6pm to 9pm. Address: 2827 East 10th Street Indianapolis, IN.

"A few blocks east and across 10th Street from Pogue’s, I visited Kime Contemporary that is showing Infinite Scroll by Nelson E. Kaufman. Kaufman completed his BA in sculpture at Indiana University in Bloomington, where he met gallery director Ian Kime. He now resides in Atlanta, where he works on elevators and is part of a union. Kime contacted him through Instagram after seeing his new paintings and asked him to show at the gallery. The work was loaded onto a pickup truck and delivered by the artist himself just a few hours before Collector’s Night on Thursday, May 3.

Kaufman said of the show, “It’s a compilation of how I feel about social media and how I feel about the day-to-day. It’s about how we gather information and process it."

The show consists of paintings and drawings. None of the works on display were traditionally hung; some of them were leaning against the walls and others lay on the floor. Some drawings were pinned to the walls, and there was one interactive piece with an E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial theme painted onto cheap, white window blinds that revealed a different, more abstract image when turned.

“The work is up for interpretation. I am not concerned with titles [for the artwork] because my work is made from an unconscious method, like free-flow jazz,” said Kaufman."
