Sell me your ‘concept’
for Rs. 40,000/-
"आपके कोई एक मूल संकल्पना के लिये, पुरे 40,000/- का इनाम"
- सातोशी हशिमोटो
As a person living in Japan and about to present my work in India, I have wondered how I could engage with the country from within the local, Indian context, rather than like a stranger, from outside of it. In order to realise this, I have decided to buy a concept from a local person, transplant this concept into to myself and practice or execute it.
I want your concept. Sell me your concept.
Satoshi Hashimoto
Outline of the prize contest:
Part of the contemporary Japanese art exhibition, ‘Omnilogue: Journey to the West’, one of the participating artist, Satoshi Hashimoto, invites people in India to participate in a prize contest for the best concept, based on which the artist will generate a new work for the exhibition.
Hashimoto seeks a concept that has the capacity to be generative. Which means that the artist does not seek suggestions for what materials to use or how to execute the idea, neither is he interested in ideas that have been casually formulated, without giving it much of a thought.
Amount for the concept: 40,000INR (subject to TDS)
Number of concept to be selected: One
Application Process:
Please make sure you send your applications to the designated email
address by the application form. You may respond to the following either in English or Japanese.
The applications are screened by Satoshi Hashimoto, and selected finalists will be interviewed by the artist, one of the co-curators and the organiser of the exhibition on 4th and 5th of October 2011.
- Description of your ‘concept’ (less than 150 words in English or Japanese. Sketches or images to illustrate the concept are not necessary.)
- Name
- Contact (email, phone and address)
- Period of residence in India
Deadline: Tuesday 20th September 2011

General qualification and conditions:
- Local individuals who have lived in India for more than five years.

What this implies is that although Satoshi Hashimoto will ‘transplant’ your concept into himself, it is the artist himself who will decide which forms, dimensions, materials and techniques he will employ to execute the concept, and the applicant is not allowed to use the concept any longer. The successful applicants will be credited for their concept by their initials.
