The Aesthesis Project was set up in January 2007 as a
research project investigating art and aesthetics in
management and organizational contexts. It was
directed by Jonathan Vickery, Ian King and Ceri
Watkins from Essex Management Centre (Essex
University), with project manager Jane Malabar.
The Project comprised an international journal (see
left), a series of international art projects called
Aesthesis//CREATE, and The Art of Management and
Organization Conferences. The first of the conferences
was at King’s College London in 2002, then in
ESCP—EAP and Pompidou Centre in Paris in 2003,
then in Krakow’s Akademia Pedagogiczna in Poland
in 2006; and September 2008 saw us at the celebrated
international arts centre, The Banff Centre, Alberta,
Canada.
These were the two Aesthesis project logos Jonathan
designed, used on all our products.
