Although he was forgotten for a long time, he has been rediscovered in recent years due to publication of his novel *Kurtyzana i Pisklęta* (The Courtesan and the Chicks). In the second half of the 1960s he was closely associated with the community of the Cricot 2 theatre of Tadeusz Kantor, the Krzysztofory Kraków gallery, and the Foksal gallery in Warsaw. In the memory of many participants of Kraków’s artistic life (as well as the environment of the Foksal Gallery in Warsaw), Niemczyk was, above all, a colorful figure with an unusual way of life and the ringleader of spontaneous, often illegal events. The ever-present wooden bird on his shoulder was remembered, as well as the paper angel wings sewn into his clothing or intensive, provocative makeup, but also the so-called \"dziubary\", spectacular thefts of state-owned food stores. When he was still a primary school student, he is said to have come to school naked, wrapped only in a map of Poland. What is important, his actions were not legitimized as art. Few remaining photographs depict almost fully naked Niemczyk bathing in a fountain in front of St. Mary's Church in Kraków. He turned his mother into a \"living statue\" by tying her up to a bench in the Planty park in Kraków, in front of the Bureau of Art Exhibitions."},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"Krzysztof Niemczyk was een schrijver, autodidact schilder en muzikant die zijn formele opleiding beëindigde na de lagere school. Hoewel hij lange tijd vergeten werd, is hij de laatste jaren herontdekt, met dank aan de publicatie van zijn roman *Kurtyzana i Pisklęta* (De courtisane en de kuikens). In de tweede helft van de jaren 1960 was hij nauw verbonden met de theatergemeenschap van Cricot 2 van Tadeusz Kantor, de galerie Krzysztofory Kraków en de Foksal-galerie in Warschau. In de gedeelde herinnering van veel deelnemers van het artistieke leven in Kraków (en in de omgeving van de Foksal-galerie in Warschau) was Niemczyk vooral een kleurrijk figuur met een ongewone levensstijl, de bendeleider van spontane, vaak illegale events. De altijd aanwezige houten vogel op zijn schouder wordt niet licht vergeten, net zoals de papieren engelenvleugels genaaid in zijn kleren of de felle, provocatieve make-up, maar ook de zogenaamde ‘dziubary’, spectaculaire diefstal van voedselwinkels in eigendom van de staat. Toen hij nog op de lager school zat, zou hij ooit naakt naar school zijn gekomen, slechts gehuld in de kaart van Polen. Niet onbelangrijk: zijn acties werden niet gelegitimeerd als kunst. Weinig overblijvende foto’s tonen een nagenoeg volledig naakte Niemczyk badend in een fontein voor de Mariakerk in Kraków. Hij veranderde zijn moeder in een ‘levend standbeeld’ door haar vast te binden aan een bank in het Planty-park in Kraków, voor het Bureau van Kunsttentoonstellingen"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"locations":[{"country":"Poland","place":"Krakow","category":{"en":"Died in","nl":"Overleden in","fr":"Décédé en"}},{"country":"Poland","place":"Krakow","category":{"en":"Born in","nl":"Geboren in","fr":"Né à"}}]}
