PRESSITEADE
Alates kolmapäevast, 19.05.2010 on Draakoni galeriis võimalik osa saada NEEME KÜLM´a (1974) isikunäitusest „Homne on täna“.
Avatavat näitust oleks kõige õigem nimetada Neeme Külma autoportreeks, või siis eneseanalüüsiks kui soovite. Olles enese sõnul tavapäraselt emotsioonide kirjeldamisel ja väljendamisel ebatäpne, millele siinkohal küll vastu vaidleks, otsib Külm seekord vaevuaimatavaid pooltoone läbi ratsionaalse ja emotsionaalse omavahelise lahutustehte. Külm on veendunud, ja ilmselt on tal õigus, et enese muutmise soovi täitumiseks tuleb muutust ka tegelikult soovida. Vabaneda koormavatest kohustustest, emotsioonidest ja mõtetest.
Elada vaid käesolevas päevas ja olla iseenda jaoks täiuslik. Ja kuna Neeme Külm on kahtlemata täiuslik, koorib ta, kasutades siinkohal autori võrdlust, end vaataja ees „lahti nagu sibula“. Selles kõiges on edevust, dramaatilisust ja õige pisut kohmetust. Kuid ei midagi juhuslikku, kõik on väljapuhastatud ja lõplik, ka backstage. Tähtis on kohalolu.
Näitus jääb avatuks kuni 05. juunini 2010.
