Permanent Collection
California-native, London based curators Mariah Nielson and Fanny Singer created Permanent Collection: a line of luxury clothing, accessories and objects based on historical and contemporary originals. Inspired by the principles that guide acquisitions at the world’s greatest museums, Permanent Collection offers pieces defined by timeless value, whose currency as art and design will endure.

RE/SEARCH
In 1977 V. Vale founded Search & Destroy, San Francisco’s first Punk Rock publication. It was published at City Lights Bookstore, where V.

Vale launched RE/SEARCH, releasing books by Jello Biafra, Henry Rollins, Lydia Lunch, and many other Punk notables. RE/SEARCH is highly regarded for its impact on the world of underground culture.
RE/SEARCH introduced artists such as William S. Burroughs, J.G. Ballard, Genesis P- Orridge, SPK, Monte Cazazza, and many others. RE/SEARCH has continued to remain vital in its lengthy history by refusing to adhere to a formula for an easily identifiable “Punk Culture.” Aside from being a book/magazine publisher it is also a mail-order company selling its own wares, which include underground T-shirts, books, DVDs, music, and other merchandise.
Rite Editions
Steven Leiber and Robin Wright founded RITE Editions in 2007 in San Francisco with the intent of commissioning artists to make limited edition publications. A variety of mediums are explored in RITE Editions publications, and notably all editions are intimate, interactive and necessitate close examination.

Subsequent multiples include The White Album by Mungo Thomson (2009), Travis Meinolf’s Social Fabric Berlin Mitte (2010), and Paul Sietsema’s At the hour of tea (2014). This year, three editions will be completed: Jay Heikes’s Music for Minor Planets, a special edition by Gabriel Sierra, and a RITE Edition book publication.
