Eslöv Complaints Choir

At the opening night at the Eslöv Biennale a makeshift singing choir was formed - the improvised Eslöv Complaints Choir did it's first performance ever (and most likely the last). Singers for the choir was volunteering and/or picked out at random from the visitors of the Biennale's opening night. A text (in Swedish) was presented to the singers. The text was written by Fredrik Axwik and the singers had no chance for test singing, rehersal or reading of the text ahead of singing. It was a fly-by-faith operation. A few of the participating Biennale artists also took part in the complains choir. Some of them are seen to the far right in the video. The Complaints Choir is a project very suitable for the Ministry of Art & Jump which also is involved in complaints and protests in the HopArt project.
Thanks to chance really this video was dug up and rescued out of the extensive archive material at the Ministry of Art & Jump. We had given up all hopes really. we thought the video was lost and considered it missing in action, presumed dead - but hey! Here it is! Short, simple, complaining, bitching and shooting from the hipster! Oh yeah!
