Mistakes, slips, and failures are not only part of artistic practices but also integral to entrepreneurship, science, and, ultimately, life. In the contemporary world, they carry a negative connotation. Failure is the opposite of success, and when capitalism is its choreographer, it must be eliminated. In some cases, however, it can be used as a strategy. In art, failure with its many variations (error, slip, experiment, openness, risk, etc.) appears in different ways. It is an essential part of artistic practice, emerging in the gap between intention and realization. After successfully carrying out the project in Belgrade and Berlin, Darko Dragičević, in collaboration with a representative of the City Guerrilla from Belgrade and local Ljubljana-based creators, developed artistic practices of failure within an artistic laboratory. These were presented as spatial interventions intended to create different, parallel forms of community using means that resist the general valorization of success.
