Following the “surfacing” of the open “Stop” on the hill, which lasted 4 days, Vova Zaichenko and I decided how to designate the fictitious gallery space (FGE) of the ceiling in the sky. And here again, childhood experience came to me when the boys and I were fond of bird-catching. I suggested that Vova catch birds right behind the workshop house on Olegovskaya Street. There, on the hill, many different birds flew. In the course of the conversation and debate, we decided to ring the caught birds with golden rings, one letter - F, G, E was extruded on each bird in the ring so that they in the sky indicated an invisible triangle of the borders of the fictitious gallery.
So, on the appointed day, we managed to catch the birds, which were immediately ringed by “F” - goldfinch, “G” - linaria cannabina, “E” - bullfinch, so the term “betrothal” with the sky arose. Betrothed birds are associated with the signs of the abbreviation FGE on the one hand, on the other - they are carriers and intermediaries, they are living borders of an invisible structure, adapted to nature. We cannot trace the path and its transformation of unity, the triangulation of the borders of FGE. Our goal is to think, imagine, experience the incorporeal multiplicity, the endlessly changing triangles, the openness of the relationship process.
Moving, intertwining with each other, bearing the point boundaries of FGE, which are impossible to trace either physically or semiotic. Conceptually, one can imagine that living marked objects create a kind of living representation, an elusive shapeless whole. But really, we know that such a migratory form of FGE can exist, to an unknown length, the life of birds (10 - 12 years). This is another example of the lack of institutionalization in its existing invisibility and independence within the framework of nature, where there is no criticism, thinking, and calculation. Thus, FGE continues its existence - an expedition to an unknown destination.
