3月13日傍晚，世界名人网记者应邀出席了开幕式。

永久转变(Transformed Permanence)代表了艺术家具设计师Kelly Gale Amen和摄影师Sergio Santos的合作努力。艺术家具已经持续有千年的历史，摄影术则抓拍此时此地的现实存在。阿曼的注脚通过青铜、铁和铝的符号带到现实中来，象阿曼描述的“……将在我们走之后还在那里长久存在”桑德斯则通过短暂的在消毒面具里玩味他充满想象力的背景。桑德斯创造的世界是一个离奇但熟悉的世界：扰乱、胆怯及无处可逃。永久转变特别适合在历史古建筑麦格劳尼酿酒大厦Petal Gallery博物馆中，这座建筑是白润和杰姆士的物业。

展览是2008休斯顿摄影展的重头戏之一，开幕招待会展出Susan G Komen for the Cure®的最新作品, 阿曼最荣耀的收藏。本展览免费对公众开放。

阿曼(Kelly Gale Amen)首先是一个室内设计师，其次是一个家具设计师，他也是一个艺术的支持者。他开始家具设计早在九十年代的早期：很少的艺术作品困扰着他，很多人都同意三维艺术作品“雕塑”主要存在于视觉空间里，人类对功能艺术印象是更复杂的当功能被加入在形式里，人类元素是通过直接的卷入来获取图像的。也许我们变成了艺术的客体。

桑德斯是休斯顿美术摄影界熟悉的面孔。他是NALAC (National Association of Latino Arts and Culture) Fund For the Arts的获奖者，两次收到休斯顿艺术同盟的嘉奖(Houston Arts Alliance)。由艺术家个人赞助和基金的支持，桑德斯已经在Corpus Christi到奥斯汀的多次展览中展出他的作品。

ARTIST STATEMENT SERGIO SANTOS:

The idea of narrative voice is introduced to most as they learn to write. As a youth, I knew that my personal voice held the key to what I would be in life. I naturally thought that my medium for expression was writing—that I would be a poet, an essayist or go on to write novels. The immediacy and urgency that I craved in expression, however, was not sufficient for me in written word. The image, in turn, is the perfect vehicle to convey that urgency. Photography is my new text—actualizing my voice the way I envisioned from the beginning.

ARTIST STATEMENT KELLY GALE AMEN:

Kelly Gale Amen is first an interior designer, second a furniture designer and third a supporter of the arts.　Amen began experimenting with furniture design in the early nineties: the rarity of functional artwork intrigued him. While many agree that three dimensional works of art, “sculpture” exist primarily in space visually, the impact of functional art on humans is more complex. When function is added to form, the human element is further illuminated through tactile involvement. Perhaps we become the object of the art.
