About the podcast series Iconic Windows in the Arts
In architecture and visual art, the importance of the window and light is evident to most. It is perhaps less known that windows can also expand storytelling in film, literature, and music.
In Iconic Windows in the Arts, you’ll meet a range of leading experts and art specialists from different artistic fields. Together with architect Ane Cortzen as host, they select—and unfold—works in which the window plays a particularly significant role.
The series is developed by VILLUM Window Collection and produced by CultureWorks.
