Klub Menza pri koritu
Background
The venue grounds were an empty space, mainly used by the skaters until September 2000, when KUD Mreža Arts and Culture Association and Society for the Protection of Atheistic Feelings (DZAČ) converted it into a club. The stage - and later the wooden upper gallery - was constructed by the volunteer craft group Axt und Kelle from Germany, Denmark and Switzerland. In the following decade, the managing collective took some time to form the clubs identity and find a coherent policy of its programme. Today, its contribution to the diversity of Metelkova makes Menza pri koritu one of its main social and cultural nodes.
Officialy managed by KUD Mreža, it is in fact led by an informal grouping that comes from various other associations like Kud Sizifova buča, Kud Kentaver and Cirkus pri koritu. This core team extensively works with a number of other cultural producers - [A]Infoshop Metelkova, DRMK, Kud Kentaver, Bangyourbrain, Panda Banda, Buba Booking and Promotion, Sploh Institute, Moonlee Records, Radio Študent (RŠ), City of Women, FV Music, Cirkusom pri koritu, Peace Institute and Voluntariat.
