The
DA ! Art Award is presented every two years by the Düsseldorf
Reconnaissance Service under a changing theme. The wants to inspire
artists to take a critical look at religion and irrationalism. The
nominated works will be presented to the public in a one-week
exhibition in the Düsseldorf City Museum. Topic in 2020: ... does
not work beyond the placebo effect!
2020
is about deceptive beliefs. Whether homeopathy and Bach flower
therapy, religion or esoteric promises of salvation: pseudo medicine
and religious belief can work. Thus, a prayer can convey strength and
confidence that a medically ineffective drug can promote recovery.
But these effects have nothing to do with the intervention of God /
Yahweh / Allah, nor do they - in the case of homeopathy - result from
the fictitious memory of the water. Rather, psycho social and
cultural factors are responsible for these effects. And what also
applies to globules always applies: no effect beyond the placebo
effect.
