Im confused

I went to Liljevalchs spring exhibition in Stockholm, which is an open exhibition and is said to be one of the first signs of springtime. Im confused because:
1. It keeps snowing and snowing and spring seems to be far away.


The art in the exhibition was very boring with a very few exceptions. Most rooms in the exhibition seemed to have existentialism, anxiety and emptyness as a theme. I looked in vain for a refreshing room. I liked the wall where you could move figures around, like in playschool. Oh, Interactive art, on you the fun will rely! What really depresses me is when you can hear the artist thinking too much about the art they create, thats how predictable and unnecessary art is created.










I liked Fritz Quasthoff´s pencil drawings, on the top is one of his drawings from 2003.
Standing in front of three of them in the exhibition, they trembled with energy and force!
