HISTORY
Screwing things up in a serious manner
During its ten years of existence ZMUC at Zemun Quay hosted and stood for various programs, celebrations of freedom and events of an incomprehensible concept. Exhibitions, concerts, donor nights to cooking of affordable food with “Artists cook on Mondays”, to social support for artists. With the selling exhibition “Stupid Things from China” we helped “Illegal Pastry Chefs” and Pavle Ćosić from their return from Shanghai, and Ivan Tobić to be saved from prison. Live concerts were either held or managed by Goran Orge Nikolić, movies to be screened were selected by Miloš Stefanović, and the most important thing – the bar was held by Goran Lakićević, a ZMUC CEO. Whole lotta literary and satirical evenings were held to celebrate marginal and unimportant authors, a fashion activist Marina Ilić’s wedding dresses from political campaign posters, a journalist’s parties among other things were held since 2005. when Serbian Radical Party was in power in Zemun until 2015, when the Radicals took over Serbia. Working model of voluntary contributions was appropriated from “Anarchy Block 45”.
We were a small space with a large audience, with artists, cyclists and neighbors, marginal in every sense and one footnote of Belgrade. And we were a Chubby cyclists’ headquarters.
The ZMUC at Zemun Quay was closed with a heartbreaking party on April, 24th, 2015. The then “armchair communists” overnight transformed themselves into “armchair capitalists”.
We are now running our activities from the places we find most comfortable with.

Trial & Error je jedan od dva osnovna pristupa rešavanju problema, održavanja postojećeg ili sticanju novog znanja. U suprotnosti je sa onim koji koristi informisanost, razumevanje i teoriju, i karakterišu ga ponovljeni, raznovrsni pokušaji koji se nastavljaju do uspeha, ili dok sami ne postanu besmisleni. Uspešna saradnja sa umetnicima tokom mobilnih rezidencija nije proizvod dugoročnog planiranja već niz pokušaja i promašaja

Dummy text is text that is used in the publishing industry or by web designers to occupy the space which will later be filled with ‘real’ content. This is required when, for example, the final text is not yet available. Dummy text is also known as ‘fill text’. It is said that song composers of the past used dummy texts as lyrics when writing melodies in order to have a ‘ready-made’ text to sing with the melody. Dummy texts have been in use by typesetters since the 16th century.
