[Art-Galera]

Incidentally, the name of our exhibition was born out of the question " To fly ready? " That every day during the " flight training " asked the instructor the first "six" astronauts , test pilot Mark Gallay . After answering "Ready" sound each time became legendary - "Let's go ! ".

By the way, found a small passage in the book M.Gallaya " Tested in the sky" , where the author describes " hazing " word casually introduced them ...
 
" Some things I deliberately violated legislated wording vnutrisamoletnyh negotiations.
So, instead of the bombastic " crew take off ! " , I'm like , however, and most of my colleagues , before takeoff almost always say, " Let's go! ".
It has become common in the aviation industry . ...
Many years later ... after the tests of an experimental series of " Tu- fourth " the same expression suddenly sounded in quite different circumstances .
Just come off the poles and went up the booster to the first manned spacecraft "Vostok". The underground " control room " spaceport are several people by the Chief Designer of SP Korolev headed . All , of course, stretched to the limit . And at this moment - how the discharge - the dynamics of the ship radio voice comes Gagarin :
- Come on !
Still, he was primarily an aviator , our first astronaut. And the usual aviation " drove " brought probably forever in space terminology . "

Upcoming exhibition - is the second project that we ( D.Butkevich , V.Gallay , L.Petrosyan ) dedicate space theme and test pilot M.L.Gallayu . Previous held three years ago in 2011. - Leonid Shishkin Gallery (on the 50th anniversary of the first manned flight into space .) It was called " A week before the flight " and included work 20-21 centuries . - On the theme of Space and Aviation . Then we remember and continue the traditions of Russian cosmism (including a member of society "Amaravella" Boris Smirnov - Rusetsky ); and one of the leaders are Alexander Labas ; Socialist realism was the work of the venerable and representatives of the " unofficial art of the XX century ." And there were contemporary artists , who then actively responded to the project. That to some extent , and suggested to us to make this time of project works only 21st century.

New project shows that the topic of space in our time remains valid , although the attitude of the society and , in contemporary art markedly transformed from rampant romance since the first flight through indifference late-Soviet period to the present ironically philosophical perception. And for the artists in the first quarter of the XXI century - and the Sky and Space and the Universe , and separately , the image of astronauts as personified object and subject of the Universe - is still a source of inspiration . These themes had long been considered fashionable myths , however, radicalize the notion of responsibility statements , certainly understanding scale ideas.
