Lauren Greenfield Biography Photographer/filmmaker Lauren Greenfield has garnered critical acclaim documenting modern youth culture, examining pervasive phenomena from eating disorders and the obsession with body image, to the extreme effects of consumerism. Author of the groundbreaking books, Fast Forward, Girl Culture, and Thin, Greenfield has been named one of the 25 most influential photographers working today (American PHOTO). Her work appears regularly in The New York Times Magazine, London Sunday Times Magazine, Time, and GQ, and is in many museum collections including the SFMOMA, the Getty, LACMA, Art Institute of Chicago, ICP, the Smithsonian, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Greenfield directed and produced her first feature-length documentary film,THIN (HBO, 2006), about the treatment of eating disorders.

Her followup, kids + money (HBO, 2008), was also selected by Sundance, and won the Cinema Eye Honor in Nonfiction filmmaking, the Audience Award at the AFI Film Festival, and the Gold Hugo at the Chicago International Television Awards. Greenfield’s work was recently showcased in the Getty Museumʼs historical exhibition, “Engaged Observers: Documentary Photography since the Sixties” (along with Eugene Smith, Philip Jones Griffiths, Leonard Freed, Susan Meiselas, James Nachtwey, and Sebastiao Salgado.) She was a featured artist in the “Beauty Culture” exhibition at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, California, for which she was commissioned to direct a short film also entitled “Beauty Culture”, which will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in April.

  • Scms 2017 Conference Program
    SCMS 2017 CONFERENCE PROGRAM FAIRMONT CHICAGO MILLENNIUM PARK March 22–26, 2017 Letter from the President Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Host and Program Committees, and the Home Office staff, let me welcome everyone to SCMS 2017 in Chicago! Because of its Midwestern location and huge hub airport, not to say its wealth of great restaurants, nightlife, museums, shopping, and architecture, Chicago is always an exciting setting for an SCMS conference. This year at the Fairmont Chicago hotel we are in the heart of the city, close to the Loop, the river, and the Magnificent Mile. You can see the nearby Millennium Park from our hotel and the Art Institute on Michigan Avenue is but a short walk away. Included with the inexpensive hotel rate, moreover, are several amenities that I hope you will enjoy. I know from previewing the program that, as always, it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. This year we introduced our new policy limiting members to a single role, and I am happy to say that we achieved our goal of having fewer panels overall with no apparent loss of quality in the program or member participation. With this conference we have made presentation abstracts available online on a voluntary basis, and I urge you to let them help you navigate your way through the program.

Paul Getty Trust The J. Paul Getty Trust is an international cultural and philanthropic institution that focuses on the visual arts in all their dimensions, recognizing their capacity to inspire and strengthen humanistic values. The Getty serves both the general public and a wide range of professional communities in Los Angeles and throughout the world. Through the work of the four Getty programs–the Museum, Research Institute, Conservation Institute, and Foundation–the Getty aims to further knowledge and nurture critical seeing through the growth and presentation of its collections and by advancing the understanding and preservation of the world’s artistic heritage. The Getty pursues this mission with the conviction that cultural awareness, creativity, and aesthetic enjoyment are essential to a vital and civil society. Message from the Chair The principal subject of my Trust Report letter last year was the Getty’s then-newly adopted strategic plan. The plan was developed in close collaboration between the board and the Getty’s senior management team. Its key elements are: a renewed focus on what the Getty can do best; enhanced collaboration among the Getty’s four program areas; increased flexibility in the allocation of funds across the Getty’s programs for new strategic initiatives; continued development of the core collections of the Museum and Research Institute; and strengthened leadership in the field of visual arts locally and internationally.
