    Czech artist Kateřina Šedá’s primary media are her friends, family, and the community of her native town of Líšeň. Šedá uses performance, staged activities, and public interventions to reactivate social concourse as it is the basis for a sense of self predicated on group identification. For her 2008 Renaissance Society solo exhibition, the artist presented It Doesn’t Matter, a series of over 600 drawings executed by Šedá’s 77-year-old grandmother cataloging in size and type the various tools and supplies sold through the Brno hardware shop she managed for over thirty years under communism. While therapeutic in intent, the result is a profound reflection on memory and subjectivity as expressed through, rather than in spite of, alienation.
