Construction in Process
Construction in Process was a series of international exhibitions organized by artists in the 1980s and 90s all around the world. The originator of this idea was Ryszard Wasko. Artists who were invited to participate in "Construction in Process" invite in turn, another group of participants, giving the project a dynamic, open character. Another original idea was to spur the artists to create their works on site.[1]
