When you look at the sky, you usually see
stars, clouds, the sun and the moon. At first place you probably do not think
that somewhere there in the space could float an art exhibition.
But that has happened a few times.
An American artist Greg Mort send his
watercolor art piece of apples to the International Space Station ISS where was
arranged an art exhibition. Astronaut Richard Garriott de Cayeux took works
from six artists’ works with the ISS Russian Soyuz TMA 13 aboard. On the
station there was hung weightless art exhibition, where the apple-watercolor
was involved.
Apples symbolize man's journey to conquer
space. Now the watercolor by Greg Mort is on display at the Art exhibition
called Stearry Heavens of Art at Gösta
pavilion in Mänttä Finland.
Greg Mort is not the only one to have his
art in space.

My friend, Russian painter Ilias Aidarov
sent his paintings to the space three times at the beginning of 2000th.
Cosmonaut Sergei Zaletin asked to get Aidarov’s pieces of art to ISS.

Aidarov owned his space exhibits to his native city Kazan that by that
time celebrated its one thousand years of age. Today the artist lives in
Moscow.
Aidarov’s paintings flew several times
around the earth in the spacecraft, and were exhibited at international ISS
space station. The longest time the works stayed in the ISS was more than half
a year in 2002-2004.
Aidarov’s works with stamps illustrate churches and buildings in Moscow, Kazan and
Saint Petersburg.
When the works returned to the ground,
Aidarov donated them to his native city Kazan.
