SUMMARY:There's No Place Like No Place
DESCRIPTION:There's No Place Like No Place\nby Louis M Schmidt\n \nCl
 osing Reception: June 11, 2010 (6-10pm)\n-drinks, snacks and zines wil
 l be served!\n \nUC San Diego's Visual Arts Facility, Main Gallery\nR
 ussell Drive, between Williams Ave and Lyman Ave\nLa Jolla, CA 92093\n
 http://bridgethevoid.blogspot.com\n  \nJune 8-11, 2010\n12-5pm (or by
  appt.)\n \nLouis M Schmidt is proud to present There's No Place Like
  No Place a new, large-scale, site-specific installation which marks t
 he conclusion of his MFA studies at UC San Diego.\n \nThis body of wo
 rk, a bit of a departure from Schmidt's usual drawing-centric practice
 , will feature a large site-specific wall work, sculpture and an immer
 sive gallery experience unlike many viewers will have ever had. There'
 s No Place Like No Place is an exploration of the -scape: it implodes 
 \"landscape\" and \"cityscape\" into a new kind of -scape, into a void
  terrain, a \"voidscape\".\n \nThe title of the show is a pun on the 
 word \"utopia\", which translates to \"no place\" or \"not-place\" but
  is also a way of defining an \"ideal place\". The word \"utopia\" has
  long been defined by its ironic double meaning- a utopia is called su
 ch because it was (and is) considered impossible to realize. Ideal pla
 ces are impossible to realize, just as “not-places” are impossible
  to realize. There's No Place Like No Place capitalizes (quasi-utopian
 /socialist pun-intended) on the positive/negative duality of \"utopia\
 " and uses it to chisel into the corrupt foundations of our bankrupt m
 odus operandi. With this exhibition, Schmidt reveals the utterly tragi
 c results of political and spiritual ideals whose primordial architect
 ure barely conceals writhing, diseased paradigms of hierarchy, exclusi
 vity and ego-worship. It’s a dark-transcendent experience not to be 
 missed!\n \nAll in attendance will receive a free copy of Schmidt's l
 atest zine, entitled Hold This, It's Nothing.\n \nAbout Louis M Schmi
 dt\nLouis M Schmidt grew up in rural, central Illinois in a town of 35
 0. Until the age of 16, when he moved to an even more rural area, he c
 ould call anywhere in town simply by dialing five digits. A traveler o
 f the world when possible, Schmidt has made temporary homes in London,
  Madrid, Krakow, Charleston, San Francisco and Boulder, CO. When not l
 aboring over his socially incisive and exquisitely crude drawings and 
 zines, he divides his time fairly equally between hanging out with his
  favorite lady, reading, growing beards, riding skateboards and motorc
 ycles and other cool shit, critiquing the finer points of Hollywood \"
 cinema\" and talking all serious-like with his friends. http://bridget
