Corby has joined Cairo, Hong Kong, New York and Tokyo to form its own Complaints Choir, based on a project initiated by Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen.

Paula Boulton has been working with local people to collect complaints and turn these into song lyrics.

One song, featuring complaints about the rural environment, rural life and culture will be performed at the Country Park and another song concerning people’s personal complaints will be performed at Lyveden.

The songs will be recorded for visitors to the exhibition.

Visit www.complaintschoir.org for further information.

 

The opening weekend will also provide an opportunity to experience Track, a participatory installation by Graeme Miller that throws the landscape through 90º and sets it in motion.

Visitors are slowly moved on a journey along a 100 metre length of dolly track installed under the trees at Lyveden New Bield and invited to gaze upwards. They undergo a solitary, immersive experience as the landscape is transformed around them.

Please note, due to the performative nature of this work, Track will be presented at Lyveden New Bield during the opening weekend only:

Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 August, 11am – 5pm
