《只要一瞬间》将身体作为题材，涉及到身体的物质性，在观者试图理解所看到的东西时测试身体和认知的可能性的极限。作为一位多产的实验性艺术家，徐震的观念艺术实践涵盖了多样的媒介，并常将幽默，讽刺和复杂的诡计应用到作品中。当观众等待表演者站起来，或者遵循地心引力下坠的时候，却经历着时间的停顿，这个瞬间借由这些活体雕塑得以延伸和拓展。徐震从字面和隐喻，空间和时间等方面探讨了脆弱与平衡。

“这是对 MOCA 藏品非常令人兴奋的补充，也作为一例我们收藏表演艺术的新贡献，” MOCA 教育总监兼项目高级策展人 Amanda Hunt 说道, “这是我们馆在该系列中收藏的第二件表演作品，将来会有更多。这件作品带来了非常有力量的体验，我很高兴我们的观众将在未来几周内沉浸其中。”

在此次收购之前，MOCA 只藏有一件行为作品《Temperament and the Wolf》(2014/19)，由艺术家Jennifer Allora和Guillermo Calzadilla（Allora＆Calzadilla）创作。

MOCA LA acquires performance piece In Just a Blink of an Eye (2005) by XU ZHEN into its permanent collection. It is the museum’s second performance piece in the collection. This acquisition was made possible through the help of the gallery Perrotin.

In Just a Blink of an Eye engages notions of the body as material, and in turn the materiality of the body, testing the limits of physicaland cognitive possibilities as the viewer tries to comprehend what we see. A prolific and experimental artist, Zhen’sconceptually-driven practice encompasses a vast range of media and often employs humor, irony, and sophisticatedtrickery. As the audience waits for movement, for the performer to stand up, or for them to continue to follow the rules ofgravity, they instead experience time and stillness as moments extend and are stretched out on through these livingsculptures. Xu Zhen explores fragility and balance, literally and metaphorically, spatially and temporally.

“This is a very exciting addition to MOCA’s collection holdings, and an example of our new dedication to collectingperformance art,” says Amanda Hunt, MOCA’s Director of Education and Senior Curator of Programs. “It is themuseum’s second performance piece in the collection and there will be more to come. This particular piece imparts a very powerful experience and I am so pleased that our audiences will get to immerse themselves in it over the comingweeks.”

Prior to this acquisition, MOCA had only one performance piece in its collection by Puerto Rico-based artists JenniferAllora and Guillermo Calzadilla (Allora & Calzadilla), titled Temperament and the Wolf (2014/19).
