This dissertation traces the proliferation and significance of artist-run spaces and initiatives in Athens through a "decade of urgency," loosely bracketed by the Greek sovereign debt crisis and the COVID pandemic. During this period the Greek capital emerged as Europe's symbolic epicenter of crisis, a critical point of convergence for several interrelated situations unfolding across the region: the economic crisis of the eurozone, the so-called refugee crisis, and a resurgence of the far-right. Amid and against these conditions, Athens witnessed an intense proliferation of crisis creativity, relating to both everyday improvisational repertoires of survival and formally creative practices of expression and response devised by artists and activists, from protest choreographies to political street art. These real material practices being tested on the ground inaugurated a period of intense cultural and intellectual fascination with Athens sustained by international media attention and artists and scholars drawn to the seductive aura of the "crisis city." Consolidating what I call the crisis creativity narrative, this perception gave way to a symbolic repositioning of Athens as a site of exceptional cultural novelty, social innovation, and transcendent relevance that found its climax in the 2017 relocation of the prestigious German art exhibition documenta to the city mounted under the theme "Learning from Athens." This romanticization of the city is not politically neutral. Rather, by fetishizing crisis creativity without articulating a sustained critique of the structural causes and everyday effects of crisis it serves to conceal, normalize, and co-opt the precarity of the very creative practitioners and urban milieux it places at its center. In this dissertation I offer a critical reconsideration of the crisis creativity narrative from the perspective of artists and cultural workers, and their endeavors of self-organization. This work is grounded in an ethnographic account of Athenian artist-run spaces, a heterogeneous field of practice that includes self-organized exhibition and performance spaces, laboratories for artistic research, and community art projects. Attending to their everyday labors of social reproduction, placemaking, and critical knowledge production, I examine artist-run spaces not as autonomous bubbles but a relational infrastructure of world-making deeply embedded in the broader currents of Athens' urban development through and beyond crisis. The impetus at the core of my endeavor is to demonstrate that symbolic projections such as the crisis creativity narrative have a real impact on the material and lived reality of a city, and, more broadly, to deexceptionalize notions of both "crisis creativity" and the "crisis city.".
