It is a well established fact that tons of bands form at art school. What is interesting, is how many musicians continue to make art and artists continue to make music when they leave. David Risley’s gallery in Copenhagen is opening an exhibition This is our Music/This is our Art this Friday. The title of the show fuses album titles by Ornette Coleman, Galaxie 500 and the Soup Dragons and is also accompanied by The Gutter, a record store specialising in music by artists. Here are ten people in the show as a taster.

BRIAN DEGRAW

JEREMY DELLER

Music projects have been part of Deller’s work from the early days. From art works tracing the history of British house music to brass bands playing acid house to film and photographic projects devoted to the fan art of Depeche Mode and Manic Street Preachers, art and music are natural bedfellows in the work of Mr Deller.

JOSEPH BEUYS AND NAM JUNE PAIK

The late Korean-American artist Paik, known as one of the forerunners of the use of technology in art, studied music history in Germany where he met artists Joseph Beuys and Wolf Vostell and composers John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen (wouldn't you have liked to been in that class?) Paik and Beuys made some wild music collaborations too.

KARL HYDE

Hyde is better known as being part of seminal 90s techno band Underworld. However, he studied art in Cardiff, was part of graphic design collective Tomato, and today creates large graphic abstract paintings that resemble giant scrawls and actions.

NATE YOUNG

JAMES CAUTY

No art music line up would be complete without the KLF’s Jimmy Cauty. The whole history of the KLF teetered on the border of art and music. His own artwork is full of humour and politics, with a street pop art sensibility that could only come out of Britain.
