museum in progress is a non-profit art initiative, established in Vienna in 1990, which has collaborated with more than 700 artists to date. The exhibition activity of museum in progress concentrates on contemporary art in media, public and virtual spaces. For example newspapers, magazines, billboards, building fronts, flag poles, television, concert halls and the Internet are used. In this way museum in progress reaches a far larger public than traditional museums. As an immaterial museum that is still “in progress”, its context-dependent and temporary art projects aim at the interface between art and everyday life.
