When Critics Go Bananas

This years spring exibition at Liljevalchs, in Stockholm, opened this weekend. I haven’t been able to go yet, but it is said to be one of the best shows in recent years. I’m looking forward to a visit as soon as I can find some time for it.

In Jessica Kempe’s review in Dagens Nyheter I found this gem: “Maybe Morgan Stenman’s painted banana is a story about the kind of processing workout that distinguishes the contributions of this year. A banana who’s bananiness [My note: YES, she writes “bananiness”!] has been tried so many times that in the end it just lies there. On it’s back, bananish through and through…”

In the words of John Cleese: IT’S A DEAD PARROT!!!!
