How much would you pay for a single idea?

As LOOKURATING steps into its 7th year, we invite you to co-create an experimental art project Price-tag it and place a price tag on creativity.

🟡Why celebrate our 7th anniversary?

For a curation-driven creative studio, surviving for 7 years while clinging to our beliefs and creative expressions is an achievement worth celebrating. Every single year deserves a meaningful celebration.

🟠Why launch this experimental art project?

Quotation is a daily business practice, yet it is seldom discussed publicly, particularly in the creative and design industry. Over the years, we have always listed a creative fee in our quotations for clients. However, this abstract fee has often been challenged, with drastically varied levels of acceptance from different clients. In some projects, the creative fee is not even allowed to appear on the quotation.

Is creativity truly valuable? Could unpaid bidding or pitching bring internal attrition to ourselves and the whole industry?

@看什么策展LOOKURATING

看什么策展的第7年，我们希望邀请大家来共创一个实验性艺术项目《Price-tag it 》，给创意标价。🟡为什么要庆祝7周年？

因为一个策展型创意公司，活到了第7年，还能在做自己坚持的事情和表达，这是一件特别值得庆祝的事情，每一年都要好好庆祝。

🟠为什么想要做这样一个实验性艺术项目?

“报价”是一个日常的商务行为，但又是一件不常被公开探讨的事情，特别是在创意设计行业。这些年在给客户报价时，都会列上“创意费”，但这笔“抽象”费用常常受到不同客户的挑战。大家的接受度完全不一样，甚至在一些项目中，创意费是不能被写进报价单的。

“创意”到底值不值钱，没有费用的竞标或提案会不会是一次对自己与行业的内耗？
