Ectogenesis can be thought of as genesis outside the womb.
(I heard about this for the first time on the radio this morning. But I was in that groggy-just-before-a-shower mode, so all that stuck was the word, not was being discussed in relation to it. Since I primarily use my blog as a "living bookmarks" system to support other things I'm working on, I wanted to blog this now and come back to it later. On the surface, being the biotech simpleton that I am, it seems to me that if you take cloning and ectogenesis, and turn left you will have arrived in Huxley's "Brave New World," or maybe Dick's "Blade Runner" at least. Only, we ain't talking about a book. )

It reminds us that black artists who do not overtly address identifiable cultural themes generally have been passed over by the art world, and even by the larger black community. The show further poses the question of whether a distinctive "black abstraction" exists... [t]he answer, clearly, is no, and the proof is disarmingly simple.
(Who said that black artists must address oppression, white supremacy, poverty and all the other things that supposedly swirl around us as omnipresently as the air we breathe? Perhaps they need the freedom, as any artist does, to simply express themselves, whether in concrete terms or abstract. (b/w negrophile.))
