"'Scenius' stands for the intelligence and the intuition of a whole cultural scene. It is the communal form of the concept of the genius."

- Brian Eno

The documenta 14 will be the fourteenth edition of the art exhibition 'Documenta' and will take place 2017 in both Kassel, Germany its traditional home, and Athens, Greece .
It will be held first in Athens from 8 April till 16 July, and in Kassel from 10 June till 17 September 2017.
As part of the concept of the artistic director Adam Szymczyk, the exhibition will have the working title of 'Learning from Athens'

As a fringe event of 'Documenta'
From April 30 th to May 17th, 'Suit Cases of Dis Content' will take place in Athens.
Within the first few weeks of July SCDC it may be staged in Kassel.
' Learning from Athens' will be the suggested title for Suit Case participants.

We have potentially reserved a small theatre space in the heart of The Exarchia district.
People there are involved in many activities with refugees including language lessons and theatre workshops.
The Theatre 9or garden opposite) could be utilised as a Suit Case base, for both setting up / inventing the pieces and performing.
There would be occasions when the Suit Cases would have to be packed up whilst the space is utilised for other events. In such an incident, our cases can be wheeled to other preconceived ( or not!) outdoor and indoor venues.

We are engaging people out there ,to partake and alongside their Suit Cases, this includes the provision of workshops for making work/ performance from a SuitCase.
Participants are welcome to participate from 1 up to 17 days.

In Athens, there are several very well organised official squats , housing many refugees.
Some SCDC people will wish to engage with the refugees, either in making art work, entertaining or simply communicating.
If you would prefer to make contact within the context of someone else's' action, then Gail would be very happy to have support.
She will take materials for a painting process, plus attempt to cheer up the surroundings within the buildings, by for example, creating a stained glass effect on 36 window panes on a large stairwell. Gail also hopes to invite the people in the squats to contribute to her 'Bakers Dozen', a large scale work based on 12 refugee nations evolving to become A Pantheon of The 12 Olympian Gods.(no less!)

There is the possibility of several airbnb residencies in / near the area.

Hope to see you!
