COMPLAINTS CHOIR


Tellervo Kalleinen & Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen 2005-2014
Many commissioners, including Mori Art Museum (Tokyo), Kiasma (Helsinki), Nordwind festival (Berlin), Pro Arte (St. Petersburg), Fringe festival (Singapore)

The COMPLAINTS CHOIR project invites people to sing their complaints out loud together with fellow complainers. We organised the first choir in Birmingham followed by the Complaints Choirs of Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Chicago, Singapore and many more. The documentation of the choirs form a 4-channel video installation.

In 2006 the project went “open source” when we published the “9 Easy Step Method to Organize a Complaints Choir” on our website. Since then over 150 DIY complaints choirs have been organised all over the world.
