連載 メグ忍者 Drawing and Sleeping 第四回
Artist collective member Meg Ninja reflects on recent travels and performances in the fourth and final installment of their column "Drawing and Sleeping." The piece recounts a performance event at Toyota Municipal Museum of Art, where Meg Ninja organized a participatory piece based on Guy Debord's *The Society of the Spectacle*, and a research trip to South Korea via Tsushima and Busan for the upcoming international art festival "Aichi 2025." The narrative weaves together experiences of sleep, movement, and the boundary between daily life and artistic practice.
This column matters because it offers an intimate, first-person perspective on the working life of a contemporary artist navigating international exhibitions, collaborative performances, and the personal challenges of maintaining creative momentum. Meg Ninja's reflections on mobility, labor, and the anxiety of unfinished work resonate with broader conversations about the precarious yet privileged position of artists in the global art world. The piece also highlights the intersection of art and political activism, as seen in the artist's participation in a left-wing demonstration in Seoul.
