Fred Wilson: Flags (2009), in which twenty-one African and African diaspora flags have been drained of all colour and rendered in black on raw canvas; each flag is accompanied by a text piece, which lists the symbolic meanings of the colours that have been removed. Wilson’s paintings of the flags typify his appropriation of and adaptation of imagery or symbols that are often taken for granted, or unquestioned. In erasing the colours, Wilson provokes a question about the meaning and roll of colour in the formation of nationalistic notions of “blackness”, and comments upon the significance of this set of flags, that developed as African nations gained sovereignty following World War II.
