Eggleston on the Beeb

Don’t miss Tuesday night’s (14/7) 50 minute documentary The Colourful Mr Eggleston part of the BBC Imagine series.   The show is directed by Reiner Holzeimer, so presumably it will feature much of the footage from the short DVD on Eggleston by the same director.

Interesting news on the wire today that Martin Parr will be curating the 2010 Brighton Photo Biennial.  From Martin Parr: “I am looking forward to having the opportunity, through Brighton Photo Biennial, to share some of my passion for photography by exhibiting some recent finds of new work. I also want to build on the success of the last Biennial by focusing more on placing shows within Brighton & Hove and making the event a centre of dialogue and discovery.”  Read the full press release here.

Look out too later this year for a retrospective of images from Parr’s books at Rocket Gallery.

William Eggleston Paris

On show now at the Fondation Cartier is William Eggleston’s recent work on Paris.  A full review can be found here via Sean O’Hagan of the Guardian.  Also check out the Fondation site for a few tantalising (e.g tiny) glimpses of the upcoming book/catalogue and a video of the maestro tinkering the ivories.

More on the book, can be found at the Steidl website here.

The book was due out March 1st, Fondation Cartier states April, Steidl say May and my contact has told me Autumn 09.  So place your bets!
