In 1978, Urs Raussmüller opened InK, the Hall for International New Art in Zurich. InK was more than just the exhibition venue for (later) famous artists, for which it became world-renowned. With InK, Raussmüller realized a pioneering art promotion concept he had developed for the Migros Cooperative Federation: Artists were invited to create or present new works at InK. They received studio space, assistance, and a fee, and the works remained their property unless they were acquired for the MGB’s newly conceived art collection (today: Migros Museum of Contemporary Art, Zurich) or by him privately.

… Between 1978 and 1981, Urs Raussmüller organized approximately 60 “exhibitions” with 82 artists, including Carl Andre, Bruce Nauman, Robert Ryman, Ed Ruscha, John Baldessari and Lawrence Weiner, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Hanne Darboven, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz and Joseph Beuys, as well as Wolfgang Laib, Martin Disler, and other (then) young artists. Raussmüller had converted a factory hall opposite the School of Applied Arts so that several artists could work in the space simultaneously. This fostered a continuous dialogue both between the artists and with the public, who could participate in the developments free of charge.
Urs and Christel Raussmüller complemented the installations with concerts, readings, performances, and lectures, and disseminated them through the InK documentations 1-8.
