FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 24, 2008
Transformed Permanence: KGA and photographer Sergio Santos
Collaborate for FOTOFEST
Transformed Permanence represents the collaborative efforts of art furniture designer Kelly Gale Amen and photographer Sergio Santos; Art furniture lasting 1000 years and photography capturing the juxtaposed existence of the here and now. Symbolically Amen's notions are brought to reality through the bronze, iron and aluminum that Amen states "...will be here long after we are gone." Conversely Santos playfully riddles his imagery's landscapes with impermanent beings in gas masks. The world Santos creates is a strange but familiar place where chaos, fear and paranoia run rampant. Transformed Permanence fittingly takes place at the Petal Gallery in the historic Magnolia Brewery Building - in affiliation with Bering and James.
The exhibit is part of Houston’s Fotofest 2008, and will run from March 7, 2008 through April 20, 2008 at the Historic Magnolia Brewery Building's, "Petal Gallery" in affiliation with Bering and James Gallery. The Artist Reception will take place on Thursday March 13, 2008 from 6-9. Admission is free and open to the public.
The Magnolia Ballroom’s Petal Gallery is located at 715 Franklin (at Milam), (in the Main St. Market Square Historic District) in Downtown Houston, TX.
