"The Music in Me” was an exhibition – concert in the Gesellschaft für Aktuelle Kunst, Bremen. It originated as a project that intended to present music – produced, documented or addressed – in works by contemporary visual artists. The exhibition explored diverse ways of dealing with popular, rock or folk music.

The set up of the "show” takes a rather "Greenbergian” modernist approach, which highlights the characteristic method of a certain discipline. As in the case of contemporary pop or rock music whose "canvas” and "paint” is its sound and video, thus we invited for this event artists who are producing audio and video rather then traditional objects that relate to music.
