On the 1st day of inauguration at the ms2, the
museum invites you to the performance of a legend of the New
York 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 the
author of controversial lyrics. Thanks to her appearance in
films of such prominent independent directors like Richard Kern,
Beth B. and Vivienne Dick, she also became an icon of the Cinema
of Transgression. In the course of her career that has lasted
over 30 years, she also got into photography and literature.
Great emotions prompted 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 and 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.
