Our Spring Issue is coming soon! Editor in Chief Randy Kennedy takes us through our newest issue, featuring Rashid Johnson, David Hammons, Lynne Tillman, Ambera Wellmann and more⁠: ‘Echoing through our upcoming issue of Ursula is Robert Rauschenberg’s famous exhortation about acting “in the gap” between art and life—a space that David Hammons, the subject of a new oral history, has narrowed to quantum size. In this spirit, cover artist Rashid Johnson sits down with his father and son for a conversation over a casual meal, and we present new fiction by Lynne Tillman as well as pieces on Firelei Báez, Ambera Wellmann, Mike Kelley, Francis Picabia, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Happy reading until next time!’ —Randy Kennedy, Editor in Chief ⁠ 🔗 Pre-order now ⬇️

We are truly thrilled and humbled to have received not only a Bib Gourmand recognising 'good quality, good value cooking' at this year's Michelin Guide awards but also our very own Jasmine Sherry won the coveted Service Award.   Michelin said, 'The fish and shellfish are invariably of excellent quality and the kitchen has the good sense to let them shine; the cooking of the ingredients is spot-on and any accompaniments are finely judged.'   We pride ourselves on our sense of place, community, sustainability and showcasing the finest Scottish seafood, so to have this recognised by Michelin Guide is wonderful.   Join us in congratulating Jas and Marcus Sherry and their team!

We’re proud to share our fifth Climate Action Report (CAR) in collaboration with Artists Commit, highlighting sustainability efforts for the exhibition ‘Avery Singer. Free Fall,’ on view at our London gallery from 10 October – 22 December 2023. As part of our sustainability activities, we tracked travel, materials, waste, shipping, energy consumption and event planning. Key learnings from the report include: ⚪ Successfully trialled ECOBoard, a closed-loop recycling construction board made from 100% post-consumer waste, for the wall installation. ⚪ Reclaimed carpet tiles with Envirocycle, diverting materials from landfill through their reuse program. ⚪ Tracked food and beverage consumption for the artist dinner for the first time, setting a benchmark for future sustainable event planning.
