Painter Stephen Hayes latest exhibition, &#8220;Elegy,&#8221; consists of twelve abstract paintings that engage with the genocide in Gaza. One of the twelve paintings was created while listening to the Between the Covers conversation with Omar El Akkad about his book One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This. Because of this, instead of asking, as he usually does, an art curator or fellow painter to be in a public conversation with him as part of the exhibition, he asked me to interview him. Much as our conversation was surely different than the others he has had about his work over his nearly half-century of being a painter, his invitation also asked me to step into unfamiliar territory, to meet Stephen in this third space, unfamiliar to us both, and make something new together.
The conversation was held at the Elizabeth Leach Gallery in Portland, Oregon. Head over to <a href="https://www.elizabethleach.com/exhibitions/246-elegy-stephen-hayes/overview/">the gallery website </a>to see images of the &#8220;Elegy&#8221; exhibition and to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRA6UteElgL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">this post on their Instagram page</a> to see the specific painting that was created under the aura of this podcast.
