Ursula: Issue 3

Not for sale in Estonia!


The third issue of "Ursula" is full of time capsules. The cover commemorates the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Don Eyles, the pioneering software engineer who wrote the code that conveyed the lunar module safely to the surface that July day, sits down with Matthew Day Jackson, an old friend, to ponder the more transcendent aspects of an achievement the world has not duplicated since. "Ursula" additionally marks the centenary of another pivotal moment, the founding of the Bauhaus, taking readers back to Dessau and Swiss design pioneer Max Bill's early days as an expressionist painter. The issue also plunges into the history of the all-but-forgotten experimental New York art space 84 West Broadway, whose brief run involved insurgents such as Daniel Buren, Louise Lawler, Dan Graham, Lawrence Weiner and Peter Nadin.
