“Places and Spaces” is the broad consideration guiding the fall issue of Ursula, from public gardens and ancient cities to environments shaped by sound. The cover story offers a first look at Calder Gardens, the new cultural landmark opening in Philadelphia in September 2025. The issue also travels to Weimar-era Berlin, where Aria Dean, for the Performa Biennial 2025, reimagines a pivotal 1923 meeting between Alain Locke and Claude McKay; to the Roman Empire, where photographer Don McCullin finds repose in ancient marbles; to the existential holding patterns of Brian Eno’s Music for Airports; and to Seoul’s intersecting creative and culinary scenes.
Ursula is a contemporary art and culture magazine published by Hauser & Wirth. The magazine offers a sophisticated blend of essays, profiles, interviews, original portfolios, and photography, engaging readers with diverse perspectives on modern and contemporary art.
