"Taking one's time means to engage actively in a spatial and temporal
situation, either within the museum or in the outside world. It requires
attention to the changeability of our surroundings. You could say that
it heightens awareness of the fact that our actions have a specific speed,
depending on the situation. The question is whether such temporal
engagement is supported by society as well as by museums. Often the
answer is no. So I think it is our responsibility as artists to challenge
the shape of the museum, since museums claim to communicate the
values of society." Olafur Eliasson
