On the 1st day of inauguration of the ms², the museum invites to the performance of a legend of the New York’s underground scene, mentioned by The Boston Phoenix magazine among the most influential performers of ‘90s. Lydia Lunch is first of all a great singer, an intriguing performer and an author of controversial lyrics. Thanks to her appearance in films of such prominent independent directors like Richard Kern, Beth B. or Vivienne Dick, she also became an icon of Cinema of Transgression. In the course of her lasting over 30 years career she also got into photography and literature. Great emotions raised her quasi-autobiographical novel Paradoxia, in which Lunch paints a startling picture of the dark side of human nature.

She began her musical career at the age of 16 in Teenage Jesus and the Jerks. She took part in projects like Beirut Slump or 8-Eyed Spy and cooperated with such artists like Nick Cave, Einsturzende Neubauten or Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth. Within The Uncensored Lydia Lunch album she introduced experiments with spoken word technique, which became one of the most recognizable feature of her art.
Lydia Lunch is famous for her numerous means of artistic expression: from innocent, pure voice singing to sensual harsh recitation. In her impressively performed lyrics she refers to problems of religion , interpersonal relations, sexuality, the good and the evil.

Performance of the artist, who according to journalists “has single handedly demolished the argument that music has lost it's power to unsettle and inform”, will be preceded by the set of Wiktor Skok – a representative of Lodz’s alternative scene and accompanied by the promotion of Paradoxia.
