Wir feiern heute den Internationalen Tag der Skulptur – mit einem besonderen Highlight der kommenden Skulpturen-Triennale Bingen 2026: „Die Doppelgängerin“ von VALIE EXPORT.

Als Pionierin in den Bereichen Performance, Film, Video und Installationskunst hat VALIE EXPORT eines der einflussreichsten Werke feministischer Kunst der Nachkriegszeit geschaffen.

Der Künstlerin gelingt es mit ihrem Werk “Die Doppelgängerin” (2010), aus einem vermeintlich banalen Alltagsgegenstand ein ikonisches, komplexes Werk zu schaffen, das sowohl innere Zustände als auch gesellschaftliche Machtverhältnisse thematisiert. Die über vier Meter hohe Skulpturbesteht aus zwei ineinander verschlungenen, monumentalen Scheren. Sie formen eine Figur, die zugleich elegant und bedrohlich wirkt – und ein Spannungsfeld aus widersprüchlichen Assoziationen eröffnet:

Traditionell werden Scheren mit sogenannten „weiblichen“ Sphären assoziiert: Nähen, Schneidern, Mode, Hausarbeit. Gleichzeitig stehen sie aber auch für Gewalt, Angst, Schnitt und Trennung. Bei VALIE EXPORT werden sie darüber hinaus zum Verweis auf filmische Prozesse wie Montage und Dekontextualisierung, ein Hinweis auf die subtile Verflechtung von Assoziationen, die häufig in den Arbeiten der Künstlerin zu finden ist.

Gerade in dieser Ambivalenz von Verletzlichkeit und Aggression liegt ihre Kraft: Die Doppelgängerin verbindet Gegensätze, hält sie zusammen und macht ihre Spannungen sichtbar. Zwischen Nähe und Abgrenzung entsteht ein Raum, der das diesjährige Skulpturen-Triennale-Motto „Verbindung und Zusammenhalt“ auf eindringliche Weise verhandelt.

VALIE EXPORT.

KUNST MIT VALIE EXPORT

Drei Frauen, ein Ziel: 2025 gründeten Kulturwissenschaftlerin/Künstlerin Sarah Held (l.) und Expertin für barrierefreie Mode Josefine Amir (r.) die „Allianz für reproduktive Selbstbestimmung“. Mit Valie Export (M.) holten sie sich jetzt eine starke künstlerische Stimme mit an Bord: Die Performancekünstlerin gestaltete T-Shirts mit der Aufschrift „Genitalpanik“ – als Verweis auf eine ihrer radikalsten Aktionen in den 60ern. Der Verkaufserlös soll Personen finanziell bei ihrer (reproduktiven) Selbstbestimmung unterstützen.

VALIE EXPORT discusses her current exhibition ‘BODY SIGN’, a presentation that stages an unprecedented dialogue with KETTY LA ROCCA.

Two of the most visionary feminist conceptual artists to emerge in Europe during the 1960s, both artists placed their own bodies at the centre of their experiments across photography, video, performance and sculpture, to challenge language’s patriarchal function, and expose how it operates in public and private space.

‘In the 1960s, our attempts to cultivate a direct and uncontrolled language in art were based upon the idea that the dominant language was a form of manipulation. The plan was to circumvent these forms of social control. [...] This was the strength of the female body: to be able to express directly and without mediation’. — VALIE EXPORT

‘Women have no time for declarations: they have too much to do, and moreover they would then have to use language that is not their own, language that is both alien and hostile to them.’ — KETTY LA ROCCA

Closing Saturday 28 February 2026.

𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯 with Valie Export @valieexportfoundation and Ketty La Rocca at @thaddaeusropac

For the first time, the archives of Valie Export and Ketty La Rocca are laid out together. Two of the most radical figures of conceptual and feminist art of the 60s and 70s. Both artists decided their bodies were no longer going to be passive objects but active subjects, with a language of their own.

Valie Export shows us how the city tries to bend a woman until she fits the architecture. She suggests that female identity is often molded by the social environment. Then there is Ketty La Rocca, looking for a way to speak, refusing to be forced into a language that doesn’t belong to women. She found it in non-verbal communication, a hand gesture or a silent plea.

They never met in person, but standing in the same room you can feel they were breathing the same air. Long before social media, they were already dissecting how the female image is constructed and how to claim autonomy upon it.

𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯 with Valie Export @valieexportfoundation and Ketty La Rocca at @thaddaeusropac

For the first time, the archives of Valie Export and Ketty La Rocca are laid out together. Two of the most radical figures of conceptual and feminist art of the 60s and 70s. Both artists decided their bodies were no longer going to be passive objects but active subjects, with a language of their own.

Valie Export shows us how the city tries to bend a woman until she fits the architecture. She suggests that female identity is often molded by the social environment. Then there is Ketty La Rocca, looking for a way to speak, refusing to be forced into a language that doesn’t belong to women. She found it in non-verbal communication, a hand gesture or a silent plea.

They never met in person, but standing in the same room you can feel they were breathing the same air. Long before social media, they were already dissecting how the female image is constructed and how to claim autonomy upon it.
