aneducation for documenta 14 seeks multiple perspectives on the lived experience of Athens—embarking on different ways to exercise the body and the mind. Through walking, reading, listening, and getting to know the city’s inhabitants, we hope to move beyond well-trodden paths and build muscle memory. How do we situate ourselves within the city plan? Can we embody new desire lines? Methodos/Übungen/Exercises maneuver between art, education, and collective forms of action.
