The Culture of Thin: Through the Lens of Lauren Greenfield11:01AM / Friday, February 20, 2009
World-renowned contemporary artist, Lauren Greenfield, will deliver a lecture on Wednesday March 4, at 7 p.m. The lecture will be held in Griffin Hall, room 3 (first floor) on the Williams College campus.
Lauren Greenfield is considered a preeminent chronicler of youth culture and gender as a result of her groundbreaking projects Girl Culture, Fast Forward, and THIN. Her photographs have been widely published and exhibited and are in many museum collections across the nation. In 2003, she was named by American Photo as one of the 25 most influential photographers working today. In her lecture, Greenfield will be speaking about her experiences photographing adolescents and teens who struggle with body image and disordered eating. A question and answer session and book signing will follow.
On Tuesday March 3rd, at 8 p.m., the night before Greenfield’s lecture, there will be a screening of Greenfield’s award-winning feature-length documentary film, THIN, in Paresky Auditorium on the Williams campus. Filmed over a six-month period at the Renfrew Center in Coconut Creek, FL, a residential facility dedicated to the treatment of eating disorders, this documentary aired on HBO and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2006. The film will also be shown on Thursday March 5, at 8 p.m. in the Paresky Auditorium.
Eight of Greenfield’s award-winning photographs will be on display in the Paresky student center in Whitman’s dining area the week prior to her visit.
