In 2004 while she was traveling around the world performing and DJ’ing her grandfather, who was an astronomer, died. In the Australian bush she looked up into the brilliant, starry night sky and felt moved and inspired by the loss of her grandfather who loved the stars. She sensed that he wanted to say to her, “Keep moving with music! Follow the Light!” So that day she named herself “SayakaStar”. Since then she has organized and performed at both indoor and outdoor events with success all over Japan, Australia, and Germany.

THE FLYER

Graphic Breaks & Beats

—————————————-

Wednesday, 10th August – Sunday, 21st August 2011

at HOF Art Gallery (4th floor at bacc)

bacc – BANGKOK ART AND CULTURE CENTRE

—————————————-

“Party” is an alternative art space, which exists between “Gallery” and “Street”. Nowadays Japanese underground party scene shows its original network of organizer, DJs and artists. They can also be called “Party Punks”, based on D.I.Y. spirit.
Qotaroo introduces an atmosphere of the scene through his artworks of flyer, poster and record/CD jacket. It will be a key to know a deep underground dance culture of Japan.

—————————————-

QOTAROO’s Biography
Born in Osaka, Japan in 1977.
Started DJing as a House music DJ when he was a teenager.
Participated “Burning Man”, the most famous freaky art festival in 2003. Then organized many parties as a booking manager of Club Zing, Osaka.
Has been producing artworks for the party flyer, CD & vinyl jacket, advertisement, WEB and apparel brand throughout Japan.
Now based in Osaka, takes part in ‘Original Future Dance Party’ called “POWWOW” and a creator’s mixed media production “Cosmic Lab”.

“QOTAROO is a graphic artist / designer and one of leaders of a party scene in Kansai (West Japan). In past, he organized many parties as a booking manager of Club Zing. Now he holds Powwow at various places in Japan dropping imagination, which comes from parties, into his designs while he circulates dance floors and designs. Like he says ‘When making flyers and jackets, I think I make colors for melodies and shapes for grooves. And it’s a translation from hearing to sight.’ QOTAROO expresses, very naturally and closely, feelings and vibrations DJs put into sounds. ‘I Watch the sound. I hear the light.’ This sense is the true charm of QOTAROO’s designs.”
