Cecil Beaton: The Dandy Photographer

Exhibition of 108 modern prints on loan from Sotheby’s archive tracing Cecil Beaton’s career as a dandy photographer, concentrating on his treatment of glamour and artifice.

		Lewis Carroll

		An exhibition of 75 facsimile photographs, taken by the children’s author and mathematician Lewis Carroll (Reverend Charles Dodgson), over a period of 24 years. The work features portraits of close family and friends as well as landscape views of Oxford and includes portraits of Alice Liddell, the inspiration for his classic book Alice in Wonderland.

		Julian Germain: In Soccer Wonderland

		Exhibition of photographs drawn from archival press pictures and family snapshots, reflecting the artist’s own perceptions and emotional responses to what football means to him and football fans generally.

		John Kippin

		Exhibition of John Kippin’s documentary photographs selected by the artist for the first Dhaka Photography festival.

		Little Sparta: Robin Gillanders

		Photographs of Little Sparta, the garden of Ian Hamilton Finlay in the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh. The exhibition was curated and first shown at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, and the international tour organised by the British Council.

Kate Mellor: Island: The Sea Front

Exhibition of panoramic photographs on loan from the artist documenting the coast of Britain at precise 50km intervals, completely encircling the island.

		Martin Parr

		Martin Parr’s Home and Abroad, a selection of his colour photographs from 1983 to the present, draws on the contemporary idiom of the soap opera to tell a very different story. Not a celebration of personal events but a fable of our times, a cautionary tale about the homogenisation of Western culture towards the end of the twentieth century.
