Ursula is a quarterly magazine published by the international contemporary art gallerists Hauser & Wirth, founded by Iwan Wirth, Manuela With and Ursula Hauser.
Even if you have only a passing interest in contemporary art and culture this arresting, chunky and rather sumptuous magazine is worth picking up. Although signifcant content is derived from its own exhibition roster, it's very readable, thought-provoking and, best of all, a treat for the eyes.
About Issue 13 from the publisher:
Ursula Issue 13 is centered around a special section that gathers voices from a wide range of artists about sustainability and the environment. The section is anchored by Charles Gaines, who writes about the special difficulties of environmental advocacy within the art world. The artist Ross Simonini contributes a powerful essay about personal loss in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires. Our cover story features British artist Sonia Boyce, who sits down with us to talk about the social, political and ethereal qualities of wallpaper, a touchstone of her work. The issue also includes a look at the work of cult Japanese architect of Tōgo Murano; new poetry by Peter Gizzi; debut fiction by Margaux Williamson; Angel Otero’s bulletin board and a close read of a bushy sculpture by Meret Oppenheim.
