Budynek Muzeum Konstrukcji w Procesie Lodz

''Construction in Process'' () was a series of international global exhibitions organized by artists in the 1980s and 1990s. The originator of this project was Polish artist 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.
