dancing on grimaldi's grave


























The tune of Hot Codlins – the song synonymous with Joseph Grimaldi's fame – may be heard tinkling in a tinny tone across Pentonville once more, thanks to this installation at Grimaldi Park by Henry Krokatis. The coffin-shaped tiles are tuned to the notes of the song and in tribute to Joey's clown, you are invited to sound them by literally dancing on his grave.
