Regimybių centras

Kultūros bendruomenė svarsto naują miesto valdžios planą prijungti Parodų rūmus prie Kultūrų komunikacijų centro ir taip sukurti Vizualiųjų menų centrą.

Ne visi Klaipėdos menininkai tam pritaria. Kartais paklausus apie tą naujieną girdisi sunkiai tramdomas urzgimas.

Taip baisu kaip būkštaujama nebus. Vizualieji (lietuviškai būtų - regimybių) menai jokios žalos padaryti negali. Regimybė ir lieka regimybe. Ar ŠMC Vilniuje, ar dabar VMC Klaipėdoje - jokio skirtumo. Užtat dabar turime galimybę įveikti šimtmečio kultūrinį atsilikimą nuo Vakarų. Ten jau nuo seno vizualieji menai sutraukia daug publikos.

Amerikiečių rašytojas Markas Tvenas yra aprašęs, kaip Arkanzase XIX amžiuje kultūros komunikavo vizualiai ir interaktyviai. Lietuviško teksto tinkle nerandu (bibliotekose knyga yra), atsiprašydamas pateikiu angliškąjį to Karališkojo Kameleopardo performanso aprašymą:

(…) He (Hercogas - Lino past.) said he could size their style. So next morning he got
some big sheets of wrapping paper and some black paint, and drawed off
some handbills, and stuck them up all over the village. The bills said:

AT THE COURT HOUSE! FOR 3 NIGHTS ONLY!
The World-Renowned Tragedians
DAVID GARRICK THE YOUNGER!
AND EDMUND KEAN THE ELDER!
Of the London and
Continental Theatres,
In their Thrilling Tragedy of
THE KING’S CAMELEOPARD,
OR THE ROYAL NONESUCH ! ! !
Admission 50 cents.

Then at the bottom was the biggest line of all, which said:

LADIES AND CHILDREN NOT ADMITTED.

“There,” says he, “if that line don’t fetch them, I don’t know Arkansaw!”

CHAPTER XXIII.

WELL, all day him and the king was hard at it, rigging up a stage and a
curtain and a row of candles for footlights; and that night the house was
jam full of men in no time. When the place couldn’t hold no more, the
duke he quit tending door and went around the back way and come on to the
stage and stood up before the curtain and made a little speech, and
praised up this tragedy, and said it was the most thrillingest one that
ever was; and so he went on a-bragging about the tragedy, and about
Edmund Kean the Elder, which was to play the main principal part in it;
and at last when he’d got everybody’s expectations up high enough, he
rolled up the curtain, and the next minute the king come a-prancing out
on all fours, naked; and he was painted all over, ring-streaked-and-
striped, all sorts of colors, as splendid as a rainbow. And–but never
mind the rest of his outfit; it was just wild, but it was awful funny.
The people most killed themselves laughing; and when the king got done
capering and capered off behind the scenes, they roared and clapped and
stormed and haw-hawed till he come back and done it over again, and after
that they made him do it another time. Well, it would make a cow laugh to
see the shines that old idiot cut. (…)

Lieka nelabai aišku dėl mūsų moterų ir vaikų. Ar jiems panašias regimybes galima regėti? Bet, manau, per televizorių šiais laikais jie dar ne to prisižiūri, nieko jiems nenutiks ir apsilankius po Naujųjų buvusiuose Parodų rūmuose.
