Taste
"After tackling scent with issue 42, Visionaire again teamed up with IFF to push the boundaries of TASTE, which proved to be no easy task. As Cecilia Dean explains, "It was one of the most difficult issues editorially, because many visual artists had a difficult time thinking in terms of taste." Still, others delighted in testing the limits of IFF's crack team of flavorists. Jenny Holzer, for example, hoped to stump them by suggesting metal and jet fuel as the flavor of adrenaline, though ultimately IFF prevailed and a flavor was born, matched with one of Holzer's signature text pieces. Dispensed in convenient, self-dissolving flavor strips (so one couldn't spit it out!), the resulting serie...
Visionaire
Showcasing twenty-five years of iconic art, fashion, and design content from renowned New York–based publication Visionaire. A publishing experiment that began in 1991, Visionaire has taken the shape of everything from a leather-bound portfolio to 12-inch vinyl records to a collection of dolls. With intimate reflections by contributors, a prized collection of nearly 450 images selected from sixty-five issues produced by an astounding cast of artists, photographers, and designers, this book delivers a rich panorama of two decades of media and fashion revolution from the perspective of independent publishing. Original commentary by cofounders Cecilia Dean and James Kaliardos provides unprece...
Physiology of Organisations
Can we imagine organisations to be like human bodies? Modern medicine has advanced since the study of blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile was assumed to explain how the body functions. Organisational science today is in a similar mediaeval position, with fragmented theories of structure, competitiveness and human resources, and no overall theory of organising. This book fills that gap by constructing a physiological theory of organising. During the middle of the twentieth century, the anthropologist Radcliffe-Brown asserted that there should be a single branch of science for the study of human society. He maintained that a natural science, in the form of the study of the physiology of societies, was not yet available to form a link between theory and applied science. This research-based book explores the feasibility of studying the physiology of organisations, and determines whether this sort of knowledge can offer an improved perspective on organisational functioning. If we think about organisations in the same way that we think about human bodies, then we will be able to treat them when they are ill, and ensure that they work at maximum efficiency.

Visionaire No. 58: Spirit
"Several years before issue 58 came to be, Alexander "Lee" McQueen came to the Visionaire office to discuss collaborating on an issue that ultimately never happened. One day, the staff was discussing a potential issue printed on seeded paper, and the next day, news came that McQueen, one of the most brilliant creative minds of our time, had passed away. The team took this as a sign and dedicated SPIRIT to him. The issue set out to commemorate McQueen's life and career by publishing the imagery that had defined it. From the iconic Nick Knight image of Devon Aoki with a pin through her forehead to the haunting Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin portrait of the designer himself, SPIRIT amass...

Visionaire
"Beauty really was in the eye of the beholder, starting with the cover itself. The packaging - a mirrored mylar case featuring a limited-edition Visionaire lipstick, mascara, and lip gloss, made especially for the issue by our sponsor, Prescriptives - was a topic of endless debate. Everyone had a different point of view. Some on our editorial team thought that by putting makeup on the cover, we would be sending the wrong message: "To be beautiful, you need this." Others argued that cosmetics symbolized contemporary beauty and loved the idea of walking into a bookstore and seeing actual products floating on the cover of a book. Still others reasoned that seeing your reflection on the mirrored...
A Business Health Service
Structural-functional theorists maintain that organisations and businesses function in a similar integrated manner to living organisms. This book is the third in a series evaluating the realism and applicability of this theory. The first book was published in 2012 under the title of Physiology of Organisations, and was followed by A Clinical Guide to Organisational Health in 2015. This third book questions whether businesses can benefit from a professional healthcare service, analogous to a generic medical healthcare service, covering different types of needs, namely during the start-up phase; addressing functional and management concerns; disaster damage concerns; competitive fitness and re...
