King Krule Gets Covered by Willow Smith, Announces Mixed-Media Art Show

13-year old Willow Smith has shared a cover of the King Krule track “Easy Easy”, from his 2013 debut 6 Feet Beneath the Moon. Listen to it above.

King Krule, meanwhile, has announced an exhibition of music, visual art and performances by Jack & Archy Marshall, aka Mistr Gone and King Krule. (They are brothers!)

The show is called Inner City Ooz and it will run September 5-27 at Display Gallery in London.

According to the gallery’s announcement, Inner City Ooz will be a mixed-media display:

Intersecting memories and moments of lived experience are brought together in an impressively diverse body of work incorporating poetry, music, painting, illustration, silk-screen and linocut – all acts of artistic liberation that address universal themes of the memory, time, and role of the artist in an evolving cityscape. Through an immersive installation of soundscapes and live-performances the show aims to create a secluded, fictional environment where the viewer can find refuge from the outside world and reflect on the endless possibilities that one can discover within oneself.

To mark the opening of the exhibition, Jack and Archy will create an immersive, sound-based piece that maps out a subconscious world where memories have been recorded and sampled, consisting of three entwined elements: an ambient composition which runs on a loop throughout the night, a variety of sound installations with an interactive element in each, and a percussionist improvising and interpreting rhythms to accompany the ambient composition. These installations carry buttons and triggers that the public are invited to tamper with in order to alter and distort what the two have imagined.

A limited-edition zine designed by Mistr Gone & King Krule and produced by Display Gallery will accompany the exhibition. It will feature poetry, unseen photos and personal essays by the artists.
