lonely whistle

This is the Ken-O Expressway。-Is that your hope? Or? Are you walking?

why do people sing。I myself sometimes sing casually when no one is around (for example, while driving).。For some reason, when I'm in a crowd of people、regardless of the place、Sometimes I sing in my heart without saying it out loud。Sometimes there seems to be a reason, and sometimes there isn't.、In the end, it just depends on your mood at the time.。And、That I don't know the right song for my mood at that moment.、Sometimes I feel sorry。

I feel that young people listen to a lot of music.。In a sense, music supports their daily lives.、Maybe it's because I'm encouraging。music is also their voice。As the House of Representatives elections are near,、I tried to expand my imagination a little bit about songs and words.。

The distance between words and songs、quite close in terms of literary history。In the first place, if you add rhythm and scale to words, it becomes a song.。so、If you look closely at the lyrics、From ancient times to modern times, it is often a political message.。For example, the Beatles' "Imagine"。The message is so strong that it would be strange to say that it does not feel political.。Singing is close to politics - although I think politics should be logical.、The word "politics" (in Japan) was intentionally derived from that.、It seems like you are trying to go far away from both logic and sense.。Ordinary? In other words, ``Catchphrase Only'' is ``Winning-Oriented''。In other words, it's "advertisement"。Politics has become a billboard itself.。―Politics is a form of art such as music and art.、It's even more so because he despises academics.。

The only "culture" that politicians like to talk about is sports.。During the “Tokyo Olympics 2020 (actually 2021)” period、A certain Prime Minister went out of his way to invite reporters to his official residence.、He repeated the performance of calling the gold medalist to congratulate him.。Many Japanese people saw this、It's like exposing your crotch in public without any sense of shame.、いわば21世紀の日本がまだサル（猿）の社会のままであるかのような精神的屈辱を味わわされたのではないだろうか。at least i、ニュース画像中の得々とした彼の顔に、サル（猿）のマスクを重ねないでは正視出来なかった。新首相はまだマシかと一瞬思ったが、もう忘れかけていた「アベノマスク」の「生地の新調」に過ぎなかったので、やはり「アベスガサル芝居・第二幕」の幕開けだったのか、と腑に落ちた。

人はなぜ歌うのか。それは人はなぜ絵を描くのか、人はなぜ学問をするのか、と同じ問いだ。世界がどうあれ、日本の政治がどうあれ、わたしたちは若い人も、老人も、とりあえずは「明日も明後日もあるものとして」生きていく。I don't know about tomorrow、But、明後日のことなら歌ってみたい。―――歌は自ずから・・・と書きかけたが、せめて明後日のために―寂しい口笛になってしまった。

Is the Platonic lifestyle back?

From around September, when I had been enjoying good health until then,、For some reason, my lower back started to hurt.。back of buttocks and thighs、Pain specific to sciatica in the opposite shin etc.。10When the moon comes、There are days when I can't straighten my hips anymore.、I also tend to take breaks from walking.。The exhibition began under such circumstances.、On the last day (October 16th), I bent down and reached the gallery.、The situation has reached such a point that。The day after it ended, I had difficulty walking.。a little bit、I overdid it。―I was sketching and sketching while sleeping all day.。

Sketching while you sleep? -Nowadays, anyone can draw while lying down - using a tablet device such as an iPad - There are people with disabilities who can't even raise their upper bodies.、Attach the color box to the bed、I once saw a video of someone painting in oil with the help of a family member.。Unless it absolutely has to be oil paint、Nowadays, it is easy to draw pictures using tablets etc.。myself too、Even if my lower limbs were to fail, I have no doubt that I would be able to continue drawing.。Even with just one pencil, a picture is a picture.、Not to mention, even the color is ``still sleeping''.、If you could paint it in an instant。

Even sculptors can't create works using 3D printers.。There are also examples of architects creating real buildings using printers.、Build a real tank and drive it around on the streets、There are even some disturbing people who have been arrested.。This is an era when terrorist groups can secretly mass-produce machine guns using printers.。Why 3D printers are no longer a hot topic these days、That's not uncommon anymore、I guess that means。Are you grateful for the conveniences of civilization? is。

Draw while lying on your stomach on the bed。Doesn't put a strain on your lower back、I'm not used to using my hanging arms, so my shoulders start to hurt after an hour or two.、I can't continue。Watch a movie while facing the opposite direction。After watching、I also sketch and draw pictures.。If it's about the level of Squis、In the past, there have been situations where I would lie on my stomach and draw in a sketchbook, such as when my lower back hurt.、by corona、It was confirmed that such scenes (eras) will become commonplace in the future.。in ancient greece、Citizens eat while sleeping、study while sleeping、It seems like they had an argument (let the slave do the work).。It is an "ancient Greek/Platonic (academia)" lifestyle that I had never imagined before the coronavirus pandemic (however,、In any case, slave! Not there)。

The end of the exhibition and the end of the art exhibition

Venue scenery

The group exhibition “Living in the Landscape VIII” at Galerie Shimon in Ginza ended on the 16th.。Under Corona、Thank you to everyone who took the trouble to come.。Take the trouble to call me、Those who sent postcards etc.、thank you。

During the exhibition period、Niki Exhibition at the National Art Center, Tokyo in Roppongi、Independent exhibitions and solo exhibitions introduced in the previous article, etc.、some solo exhibitions、I also visited group exhibitions.。Everyone is trying their best。Huge amount of energy poured into it、amount of material、funds。and many sacrifices of all kinds。And the small amount of self-satisfaction that I get、like a blessing、Private admiration with almost no social skills。Is there a more appropriate word than “healthy”?。

“In my personal art history,、"The history of art has already ended," he wrote long ago.。I confirmed that again。This does not mean that everyone will stop drawing.。On the contrary, in 10 years it will be easier to draw.、I think everyone draws to kill time.。It's finished、``I have nothing more to add,'' that is.、In terms of art history, it means that we have reached the end of the book.、(at least in the modern Japanese style) art exhibition format。

At the very least, contemporary Japanese art exhibitions require personal sacrifice (rather than burden).、It's so big that I dare to call it a "sacrifice."。Japan's unique group exhibition system、It is a methodology to reduce the amount of sacrifice by dividing it by the number of people.、There are also art tenement houses where artists live by licking each other's wounds.。Artists can freely create what they want、Too far from the ideal of freely publishing。Be prepared to deviate from society by becoming a writer、You need to be prepared to commit social suicide.、It is no exaggeration to say that。Even the family is involved、I only look at people who were lucky enough to become popular writers.、It is an anachronism to think that sacrificial spirit is cool.、It is consistent with the climate of similar social oppression (for example, the social status of women) that imposes this。

Now we have the internet。The delusion that the Internet will solve these problems all at once is、Even though I admit to being a delusional person, I don't think so.、I already have the power to alleviate at least some of that.。The rigors of creation (effort) and physical、should not be confused with social sacrifice。The rigor of creation、This is because I think that I can only overcome it from a place where I can be liberated.。
