museum in progress is a non-profit art initiative founded in Vienna in 1990. 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 life. The concept of the Viennese initiative therefore has an inherent social dimension, with a particular commitment to the diversity and freedom of contemporary art production, while at the same time fostering public social discourse.
