Thin Blue Lines: Product Placement and the Drama of Pregnancy Testing in British Cinema and Television

This article uses the case of pregnancy testing in Britain to investigate the process whereby new and often controversial reproductive technologies are made visible and normal- ized in mainstream entertainment media. It shows how in the 1980s and 1990s the then nascent product placement industry was instrumental in embedding pregnancy testing in British cinema and television’s dramatic productions. In this period, the pregnancy-test close- up became a conventional trope and the thin blue lines associated with Unilever’s Clearblue rose to prominence in mainstream consumer culture. This article investigates the aestheticiza- tion of pregnancy testing and shows how increasingly visible public concerns about ‘schoolgirl mums’, abortion and the biological clock, dramatized on the big and small screen, propelled the commercial rise of Clearblue. It argues that the Clearblue close-up ambiguously concealed as much as it revealed; abstraction, ambiguity and flexibility were its keys to success. Unilever first marketed the leading Clearblue brand of home pregnancy test in the mid- 1980s. Since then home pregnancy tests have become a ubiquitous and highly familiar reproductive technology and diagnostic tool. -
In the Field Part 2 (Pizzas, RAY + JULIE and Euro'96
In the field part 2 (Pizzas, RAY + JULIE and Euro’96): Community Art 1995-6 Alan Dunn Postscript without conclusion At that De Niro meal in Chicago in 1994, Jon Pounds says something to me that I don’t quite process fully at the time but it lingers. He looks at Bellgrove, Kilmarnock, Hamilton and Sinatra and suggests that I like the idea of public and community art more than I like public and community art in themselves. I think Jon’s comment has to do with context. He has lived and worked in Chicago his whole life, which is very different from the notion of the artist in residence in different cities and working with different communities, which is what these texts are becoming documents of. Do I use community and public art as currency as I use sound art or curating? Very possibly, but at the same time the notion of projects is highly addictive. I see everything through project-glasses and projects are like little plays with organisation, characters, un/planned events, settings, moments of interaction and undercurrents of meaning. Liking the idea of something over the thing itself of course suggests a reluctance to commit, a map rather than the landscape or the concept of love as opposed to being in love. During an EA crit, Roddy B suggests his billboards are conversational whereas mine are more presentational or observational. There is a degree of truth in this, however, and these questions linger. 1995 Liverpool in January.

INFINITELY POLAR BEAR – Film at CONCA VERDE on 05.10.15 – Talk by Peter Anderson
INFINITELY POLAR BEAR – Film at CONCA VERDE on 05.10.15 – Talk by Peter Anderson Infinitely Polar Bear is a 2014 American comedy-drama written and directed by Maya Forbes, and starring Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Saldana, Imogene Wolodarsky, and Ashley Aufderheide. The film premiered in competition at the 10th Sundance Film Festival on January 18, 2014. The film was released on June 19, 2015, by Sony Pictures Classics. The Plot A manic-depressive mess of a father tries to win back his wife by attempting to take full responsibility of their two young, spirited daughters, who do not make the overwhelming task any easier. Filming The shooting of the film began on April 9, 2013 in Providence, Rhode Island. J. J. Abrams and Bryan Burk served as executive producers of the film. Forbes told a reporter for USA Today that it was an advantage having her own daughter, Imogene Wolodarsky, play one of the starring roles: "I could make her cry. And I didn't have to worry 'What if I damage this kid forever'. Imogene's part is so demanding because of all the emotional stuff. I would go into a corner with her and I would cry about what the scene was about and tell her why I was crying and what it meant and she'd cry and then we'd go do the scene. She has such a huge heart." Release After premiering at Sundance, the film was acquired by Sony Pictures Classics for major territories in North America and Europe. The film has played at several film festivals including the Deauville American Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, and the Vancouver International Film Festival.
