About the podcast series Iconic Windows in the Arts
In architecture and the visual arts, the significance of the window and light is well known. But it is perhaps less recognised that windows can also expand storytelling in fields such as film, literature, and music.
In Iconic Windows in the Arts, you will meet leading experts and art specialists from a range of artistic disciplines who, together with architect Ane Cortzen as host, select and unfold works in which the window plays an extraordinary role.

The series is developed by VILLUM Window Collection and produced by CultureWorks.
