moreThe article is a monographic presentation of work of Jacek Kryszkowski, the artist active in the 80’s (in the 20th century), connected with Łódź’s Kultura Zrzuty (Pitch-in Culture) community. Basing on Kryszkowski’s writings, statements and actions, author (re)constructs “escape from culture” project that lies at the heart of Kryszkowski’s oeuvre. In the first part of the article (“Zrzuta”) author presents a portrait of Kryszkowski, in the second one (“Wyprawa”) he focuses on a famous action of self-appointed importing of Witkacy’s ashes from Jeziory to Poland (1985), showing the results of his own “investigation”, and presenting the action as the core of Kryszkowski’s cultural criticism.
