Construction in Process (Polish: Konstrukcja w Procesie) was a series of international global exhibitions organized by artists in the 1980s and 1990s.^[1][2] The originator of this project was Polish artist Ryszard Wasko.^[3][4][5] 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.^[6]

The first CiP was titled, "The Community That Came?" (1981), curated by Anna Saciuk-Gąsowska and Aleksandra Jach and took place in Łódź, Poland.^[7][8][9] It was symbolic as the birth of the Polish Solidarity movement.^[5][7]
