Guest curator Martin Parr's full programme, entitled New Documents, will "reflect the immediacy and vibrancy of contemporary photographic practice, the eclectic passions found in collections of historic and vernacular photography and the new commissions informed and inspired by the diverse communities and context of Brighton & Hove."
Parr curates five exhibitions, with photographers such as Stephen Gill, Rinko Kawauchi and Alec Soth, the latter working in collaboration with his eight-year-old daughter Carmen. Other photographers include Wout Berger, Mohamed Bourouissa, Alejandro Chaskielberg, Esteban Pastorino Diaz, Josef Heinrich Darchinger, Ju Duoqi, Oscar Fernando Gomez, Molly Landreth, Oumar Ly, Dhruv Malhotra, Billy Monk, Suzanne Opton, Viviane Sassen and Zoe Strauss.
Parr presents, in this video shot at the Photographers' Gallery, the full list of artists and photographers he selected for the October 2010 event:
