The Los Angeles [Museum of Contemporary Art](https://www.moca.org/) has acquired Chinese artist [Xu Zhen](http://xuzhenart.com/en/)’s performance piece entitled _In Just a Blink of an Eye._ The act features a group of performers levitating in mid-air as if frozen in space and time. MOCA’s acquisition of Xu Zhen’s piece is a sign of the museum’s new dedication to collecting performance art.  The work presents the human body as a material that tests the limits of physical and cognitive possibilities. As the audience waits for a movement to be made, they themselves become suspended in the time vacuum that is _In the Blink of an Eye_.  [_Xu Zhen: In Just a Blink of an Eye_](https://www.moca.org/exhibition/xu-zhen-in-just-a-blink-of-an-eye) will be on view at MOCA’s Grand Avenue location every Saturday and Sunday from July 27th to September 1st.
