“CTRL group one” 
Bryan Miller offers a new alt for Houston art lovers
BY NICK KEPPLER
Houston needs yet another art gallery -- and that’s not just according to Bryan Miller, who recently opened the CTRL (pronounced “control”) Gallery; that’s according to the U.S. Census Bureau. “If you look at the data between 1998 and 2002, the number of businesses classified as art businesses barely went up,” says Miller. “But, at the same time, art sales went up by 30 percent.” 
So the Alabama-born, Berlin-educated artist and former director of the Barbara Davis Gallery stayed in town to launch an art space of his own. The inaugural exhibit, “CTRL group one,” features four artists, one from Toronto and three residing in Brooklyn. Anders Oinonen, the lone Canadian, paints simple colored blocks that come together to resemble sorrowful faces; they have a definitive sad-clown effect. Jane South, who’s shown at the Whitney Museum, folds paper into intricate shapes -- really intricate shapes; her constructions resemble the insides of factory equipment. Beau Chamberlain’s abstract paintings look like the leaves and branches of extraterrestrial trees. And Dan Kopp’s moody paintings show fragile-seeming figures against backdrops of deep blue, orange or green. 

Having used his hard-earned connections and Houston’s enviable position in the art world, Miller says starting the gallery hasn’t been difficult -- getting people to understand the name has. “The control key shifts the keyboard so it’s supposed to mean a shift in perceptions,” he explains. “But I had a British woman ask what we had to do with the Channel Tunnel Rail Link,” the public transportation system that connects London’s tubes with suburban commuter trains. “Sometimes I think it means, ‘Can This Really Last?’” he says. “And after the opening party, Dan [Kopp] said it should mean ‘Cure This Ruined Liver.’”
