Paul Stephen Benjamin: Black of Night

Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts 724 S. 12th Street, Omaha, NE, United States

From wordplay with the actual letters that comprise “BLACK,” to utilizing the expanse of shades of black house paint—including as Nightfall, Soot, Ebony Field, and Black Beauty—to posing the question, “If the color black had a sound, what would it be?,” Benjamin calls attention to the color’s deep historical and social resonance.
