Johannes is a series of podcasts edited by Chiara Costa that runs in parallel with Ordet’s program. It is named after Dreier’s movie central character, who goes insane studying Søren Kierkegaard and wanders around condemning the lack of faith of his times—until a miracle happens. Thanks to: Andrea Conti.
  1. Back to the Sixties.

    Liliane Lijn on artists and friends in Paris and NYC in the 1960's.

  2. Lavender Town Syndrome.

    Andrew Norman Wilson’s project for Ordet is situated in a moment when a fictional group of artists is edging out of art making and consider moving on to more productive endeavors.
