Athens Independents Art Index
Athens Independents Art Index is an initiative to highlight and map independent project spaces and platforms throughout the city of Athens. The Schwarz Foundation supported compiling an index of initiatives that were active during and beyond documenta 14. A printed map with 21 venues was available at all documenta 14 venues and other art & culture locations in the city. Since the crisis, these spaces have been important motors driving contemporary art in Athens. Independent art initiatives in Athens gathered together to create a network of contemporary art organisations that represent a cross section of the creative forces in Athens that are flourishing, reflecting, and thinking about the city, and providing an interface between the Greek cultural community and the international scene. Ranging from non-profit and artist-run spaces to residencies, community networks, and curatorial projects, these independent initiatives offer broad insight into contemporary-art production in Athens today.
