How do you relieve anxiety? Drink wine? Smoke a joint and watch TV? Not the late Eugene Andolsek. Nearly every night for some 50 years, Andolsek created intricate geometric patterns on graph paper, using a compass to create arcs and circles and filling in spaces with colorful inks he mixed in an eyedropper. His creations–which he didn’t consider art–look like some mix of Spirograph and fractal picture, orderly and oddly soothing. Kaleidoscope, a free exhibition of drawings culled from the thousands he created, hangs through March 20 at Pollock Gallery in SMU’s Hughes-Trigg Student Center, 3140 Dyer St. Call 214-768-4439.

Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sat., Feb. 6, 1-5 p.m. Starts: Feb. 1. Continues through March 20, 2010
