A vacuuming Ivanka doppelganger in a Washington exhibition has sparked outrage among the family of US President Donald Trump. On a media report on the performance „Ivanka Vacuuming“ in Flashpoint Gallery tweeted Presidential daughter Ivanka Trump on Tuesday: „Women can choose whether they disassemble or build each other. I choose the latter. “
Donald Trump jun. spoke in a tweet of a „sexist attack“ against his sister. For „self-proclaimed feminists“ sexism is apparently in order, if he violates the political enemy tweeted the oldest president’s son.

Artist and exhibitor defend work
In the life of the artist Jennifer Rubell a woman, who looks with blonde wavy hair, pink dress and stilettos like Ivanka Trump, constantly sucks a pink carpet. Visitors to the exhibition can throw their bread crumbs. The interaction is „pleasurable“ for the viewer and creates a sense of power, according to a statement by the artist.
According to the culturalCC behind the exhibition, „Ivanka Vacuuming“ is inspired by a character whose appearance with „daughter, wife, mother, sister, model, working woman, blonde“ contains an „almost weirdly wide range of female identities“. Visitors should question their own relationship to the character and their complicity in their role play.
