  • This sculpture by the internationally renowned feminist artist VALIE EXPORT comprises two pairs of scissors interlocked to create a single figure. They can be seen in motion in what seems to have been a quickly scribbled sketch; on it, EXPORT has added the words “[They have] come together.” Thus, the tools have joined forces, appearing from now on as a pair. These scissor dancers, as EXPORT herself calls them, served as the visual motif of an advertising campaign for which the artist was commissioned in 2009 by Vienna’s Tanzquartier. The cut, the incision can also be found in EXPORT’s early videos and performances. There, cutting usually represents the way social conventions that are inscribed in the female body mutilate the soul. Hence the scissors can also be viewed as a reference to household tasks typically associated with women.
