Projekt “Salajased aiad 2” on osaliselt jätk 2004 aasta PostsovkhoZ 4 valminud projektile “Salajased aiad” (koostöös Daniele Mosca´ga)
Idee salajastest aedadest pärineb osaliselt Külli Kaatsi lapsepõlvemängust, mida nad naabritüdrukuga nimetasid “salakateks” – mulla sisse peidetud lilleõied, mis omakorda kaeti klaasikilluga ning seejärel taas mullaga oli salajane looduslik pilt. Teades “salaka” asukohta, võis seda käia aegajalt piilumas, Seda näidati ka erti usaldusväärsetele inimestele.
Salajaste Aedade edasiarendust eksponeeris Külli 2004 aastal Litorina Baltic Art Award 2004 kaasnenud isikunäitusel Rootsis, Norrtälje Külalisstuudios NOA, kus salakate ehitamisse ja peitmisse olid kaasatud kohalikud noored. Moostes sooviksid Kaats ja Mosca teha koostöös kohalike laste, noorte ning miks mitte ka osalevate kunstnikega sarnane workshop, kasutades galerii asemel avalikku parki, Mooste KülalisStuudio vm territooriumi, kus maapinna sisse peita avalikud / salajased (seega era) aiad.

Külli Kaats has studied conducting at Estonian Academy of Music, graphics (B.A) and interdisciplinary arts at Estonian Academy of Arts. She has directed choirs, composed piano pieces and participated widely at the art events in Estonia and abroad. His creation / oevre in the fine arts covers different areas from music to memories and games nad therefore his creation is really liberating and lifehealthy to experience.
Project “Secret Gardens 2” is partially continuation for her project idea with Daniele Mosca from the PostsovkhoZ4. The idea of secret gardens comes from Külli´s childhood game, what was called “salakad” (secret, hidden places). Blossoms hidden to the soil, covered with piece of glass and then covered with soil again was a kind of secret picture of nature. Knowing the place of “salakas” you could go sometimes and peep it. You could show it only to very trustful persons. Külli exhibited foredevelopment of Secret Gardens at exhibition at Norrtälje AIR NOA, in Sweden. Where into building of “salakad” local youth was involved. In Mooste Kaats and Mosca would like to cooperate with local kids and why not with participating artists, with whom to make similar kind of “salakad” building workshop. Instead if a gallery they would use public park and other public territories, where into the ground to hide public / secret (i.e private) gardens.
