Abstracted

Welcome back to Abstracted! This week's episode features Pablo Picasso's painting Girl Before a Mirror (1932). Themes this week deal with insecurity and comparison, featuring all female artists.

This week, we're focusing on intense love and the suffocation one can feel from it (Happy Valentine's Day!!). We've got some light indie to jazz tunes that remind us of how beautiful and terrifying love can be and the things we endure to keep passionate emotions in our lives. Tune in to hear some Radiohead and Chet Baker, and reminisce with us :)

Got an artwork you're passionate about? DM us on Instagram at abstracted_uw and we'll turn it into a playlist + feature it on the show!!!

This week we're discussing Edvard Munch's piece Jealousy, a prominent motif in his work that he created over and over again- almost 11 times. We interpreted this with ideas on the femme fatale, heartbreak, apathy, and the intensity of idealization that occurs when individuals feel jealous. Tune in for some jazz, indie, and R&B that we think will make you feel green with envy!

This week, we discuss the work Preying Mantra (2006), by Wangechi Mutu and share some tunes based on the male gaze, sexuality, and femininity.
