Danish art

Danish painters in the 19th century may have turned to an unusual source for some of their supplies: breweries.

Researchers examined paintings from the Danish Golden Age and found traces of yeast and grains. That suggests painters were turning to byproducts from local breweries to prepare canvases, they reported Wednesday in the journal Science Advances.

The 15th Istanbul Biennial "A Good Neighbor" opens to the public on Sept. 16. This year's biennial explores the concept of "home" and how it has changed over the years. The theme also aims to discover how people protect and express their identities within their living environments. 

"Is a neighbor someone you really see?" This is how the press conference for the announcement of the framework for The 15th Istanbul Biennial started. 

The 15th Istanbul Biennial set for autumn 2017, organized by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (IKSV), will be curated by the artist duo Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset. 

According to a written statement by IKSV, Elmgreen & Dragset said they are looking forward to collaborating across boundaries at a time of rising nationalism.
