V petek, 26. septembra 2014 ob 19. uri, vabimo vse ljubiteljice in ljubitelje kulture in umetnosti na razstavo spominov ob zaprtju galerije in hiše umetnikov v Soteski 8 v Ljubljani. Preden se spomini spremenijo v kup opek, se boste lahko še zadnjič srečali s številnimi umetniki, ki so v preteklih enajstih letih bivali, ustvarjali, razstavljali in se družili na tej poslednji svobodni umetniški lokaciji v slovenski prestolnici.
Soteska 8 je bila živalski vrt likovne umetnosti, dom likovnikov in še marsikoga sredi podrtije duha 21. stoletja, sredi tlakovanega in asfaltiranega smetišča, ki mu nekateri pravijo mesto, ki svojo kot brv prozorno urbanost osmišlja s torticami fasad, kafiči in med Bledom in Postojnsko jamo zablodelimi turisti.
Soteska 8 je mimo tega armiranega ljubljanskega pohoda zarjavelih betonskih plašnic ohranjala luč še kako žive sodobne umetnosti, izpričane na stotinah razstav, ki so polnile na videz majhno prizorišče in iz zaliva ozke soteske neustrašno razsvetljevale mesto in sevale tudi onstran vseh meja in omejitev.
Po zaprtju Soteske 8 bo Ljubljana še manj mesto, a obeta se, da bo čez čas na istem kraju vzniknilo novo pročelje, za katerega pa se bo lahko vrnil stari umetniški duh.
