Megumi Matsubara (b.1977 in Tokyo, Japan) is an artist and architect. She graduated at The Bartlett School of Architecture, London, UK in 2004. Megumi Matsubara works individually as an artist and collectively as an architect through Assistant, an international & interdisciplinary design practice that she co-founded with Hiroi Ariyama in 2002. Based on an architectural approach and inspired by urban environments, she composes spatial narratives combining the use of diverse media such as installation, performance, sound and texts. Through constantly rearranging the existing environments, her works challenge the balance between presence/absence. Recent solo shows include a Retrospective at radlab in Kyoto, Japan (2010) and „Published“ at Art Center Ongoing in Tokyo, Japan (2009).
