Last year, the Toronto Complaints Choir, produced as part of the 2010-2011 World Stage season at Harbourfront Centre, collected over 1000 grievances, gripes, and annoyances from people across the city. The choir transformed these troubles into a siren song for the disenchanted. For twelve days in July, Bruce Mau Design (BMD) will work to do something about it.
Our pop-up studio, working in real-time in the Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts, will design solutions in response to the complaints. A book of these ideas will be simultaneously designed, and then given away throughout this city we love.
BMD’s Bureau of Doing Something About It is being led by studio designers Amanda Happé, Chris Braden, Kar Yan Cheung, Michal Dudek, and Paul Kawai.
