'The Artist is Present' by Marina Abramovic Dares You to Blink

Marina Abramovic’s newest piece in her continuing ‘The Artist is Present’ exhibition features her competing in an epic artistic staring contest. Okay, maybe it wasn’t intended to be a staring contest, but it often turns into one.

The latest piece in ‘The Artist is Present’ features guests of the MoMA (Museum of Moder Art) sitting across a table from Abramovic. Some people sit for a few minutes, others sit for a few hours. It’s fascinating to see how long someone can sit and stare at a complete stranger. Check out the video to see how this super staring contest came to life.
