Doctor Dana has stopped caring
…when Dana Sederowsky now exhibits at The Gothenburg Art Museum in Stenasalen under the title: I am so sorry – I don´t care it seems as ´the Doctor´ has quit. Or at least become less altruistic. In a short video-monologue she takes on issues: the self-righteousness in our society, the narrowness of outlook and helplessness. Now someone else has to take care of it. ..the room in the video is cut off by a white tarpaulin which is associated to something temporary. A provisional space without history or future.

The Life Foundation Artist Grant 2000 Statement by the Jury:
Milou Allerholm, Art Critic, David Elliot, director, Per Huttner, artist, Bo Madestrand, Editor and art critic, John Peter Nilsson, editor, Bill Rubino, chairman and Dagmar Schmidt, grant founder.
In her project Dana Aid, Dana Sederowsky investigates notions of the institutionalisatopn of care and human feeling, especially in the way how uniforms and symbols are representative of power and trust. She is questioning the caring role of the welfare state by highlighting aid as a universal symbol for empathy. By doing this she is directly confronting, in a sardonic way, the relationship between ethical values and lived experience.

…Doctor Danas reception is a game about surfaces, between her faked nurse and the faked patient. it is performance art of a postmodern cut, a trick of illusions.

…(about the character) : She is alone in the pictures. If other people are around they are not facing the camera. In order to have the energy to help someone else, be there, come close to another person, the price that she may have to pay is loneliness..this is absolutely not a funny thing to work with, this is not irony, this is totally serious.
