The DUM Association of Artists was established in 1999 and brings together international artists, acting as a producer and co-producer for projects in various disciplines including the performing arts (contemporary dance), visual arts and new media projects. For the latter it has presented several projects by conceptual artist Vadim Fiškin and organised lectures on contemporary arts by experts such as Viktor Misiano. Since 2004 DUM has run a gallery space that has until recently featured as the Gregor Podnar Gallery. DUM Association is a member of the Informal European Theatre Meeting (IETM).


Contemporary dance production

DUM Association of Artists was founded by Mateja Bučar and the organisation now produces much of her work. After graduating from ballet school in Ljubljana and taking studies at the Rosella Hightower dance centre in Cannes and workshops with Arthur Rosenfeld, Donna Uchisono, John Jaspers and Fatou Traore, Mateja Bučar became a member of the Slovene National Theatre Opera and Ballet Ljubljana and subsequently a member of Dance Theatre Ljubljana. Since 1991 she has choreographed numerous performances: with the Egon March Institute she co-created Ton-Ka, Cukrarna and A B Sence, a number of her own choreographies.

Since 2000 the DUM Association has presented the following projects in the field of contemporary dance: Dependance 1, Telborg, Media-Medici, O QuadItalic textrate and Room and Road by Mateja Bučar and Forma Interrogativa by Mateja Bučar and Magda Reiter. During 2006–2007 a complex international project The Brothers Karamazov - Volume 1 was developed in collaboration with theoreticians Renata Salecl and Robert Pfaller, and presented at the Gregor Podnar Gallery in Ljubljana as well as at the Fabricca Europa Festival in Florence. Since 2010 Mateja Bučar has developed urban coreographies (Green Light, The Unnoticed, Green Table). These brief performances popped up in a public space, usually unannounced.
