8. KING KONG KITCHIE KITCHIE KI-ME-O BY CHUBBY PARKER, 1928 REMIX: JUNEAU PROJECTS, KING KONG KITCHIE KITCHIE KI-ME-O, 2007 Originally a British folk song, this ballad details the frog’s courting of the mouse, which involves him killing her other suitors with his pistol and sword. The frog and the mouse marry, honeymoon and have three children. Harry Smith’s notes state “Zoologic miscegeny achieved in mouse frog nuptials, relatives approve.” Juneau Projects envisage the hybrid offspring, creating their possible likeness from natural materials, woven together in Photoshop. The creatures are bound together with string, which Smith himself used to create artwork. Birmingham-based artists Ben Sadler and Philip Duckworth formed Juneau Projects in 2001 as a collaborative practice, that engages with people, music and folk history. They have exhibited nationwide and internationally, including in the British Art Show 6. www.juneaurecords.co.uk |
