Don’t tell me how long to look at art

thttp://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/jonathanjonesblog/2014/nov/20/dont-tell-me-how-long-to-look-at-art

I would like to present you an article "Don't tell me how long to look at art". The item was published on the Guardian website Posted by Jonathan Jones. The author supposes that the biggest problem in contemporary art is that artworks define and dictate the time their audience must give them. Too many videos  are made like future films, they have a beginning, a middle and the end and the clear message that you need to watch the whole thing to understand it. The results are congested exhibitions that clog and ruin the fun of art.

For the author an interesting artwork is casting adrift- when you lose track of where, and when, you are. When you can be cast adrift from time and space. As an example Mike Nelson’s installation The Coral Reef- is a labyrinth of seedy urban corridors and waiting rooms or an installation by Nelson to a painting by Thomas Gainsborough where Instead of rushing to the next deadline or message, you can forget that it is 2014, for a moment, and linger in the other-time, created by art. He loves art, because it imposes no obligations on our time, but offers a chance to escape into its time.

I absolutely agree with the author and support his point of view that this kind of art should be banned from galleries
. In my opinion contemporary art shouldn't destroy art’s unique freedom, by dictating time we are to see it for, because everything depends on our engagement. Art's not a film with definite time, it is inherently open and it's up to us how much time to give this work. Defining the time to the audience, exhbitions just ruin and undermine the fun and pleasure we get from art. In a nutshell, really interesting, spectacular and fascinating artworks should't make any assumption on our time, it can give us a chance to forget about reality and find ourselves in its time and space and be there as long as we want. 

What about you? What is your opinion about this question? 
How often do you go to the art galleries? What kind of art do you like? 

Do you like the grotesque in art?
