NewBridge Project Space, 16 New Bridge St West, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 8AW
Transparent features configurations of objects and humans, humans and architecture and exhibits, institutions and individuals. Within a carefully structured environment and a precisely scripted scenario of live action, humans animate the system regardless of bounds to establishment and restrictions.
St Barnabas’ Church, High Street, Erdington, Birmingham B23 6SY
‘Clipping the Church’ demonstrated the transformations that communities naturally undergo, and ignited a much needed sense of what a unified community can be, when words are left aside in favour of a spirit of simple togetherness. Review by Dominika Mackiewicz

Executed in 1:87 scale, a dystopian model world is touring the UK housed entirely within a 40-foot shipping container. Benjamin Murphy responds to the work of Jimmy Cauty, stopping off at over 30 iconic sites of historical riots.
Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen (M HKA), Leuvenstraat 32, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium

Prince Gallery, Hauser Pl. 16A, 1127 Copenhagen, Denmark
Kristoffer Ørum's exhibition consists of a number of everyday objects: a video, a chair, a refrigerator door with milk, a dish with a watermelon, a bread box with brown bread, a sink with pasta and a number of PU foam objects - all of which emit through different wireless networks that are available within and outside the gallery.
Freud Museum, 20 Maresfield Gardens, London NW3 5SX
Piers Masterson reviews an exhibition of photographic works by Bettina von Zwehl displayed at The Freud Museum, home to the slavishly preserved reconstruction of the study and consulting room from Freud's Vienna apartment.
Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gardens, London W2 3XA
Alex Katz’s output in recent years has been both prolific and critically acclaimed and the Serpentine Galleries’ current exhibition ‘Quick Light’ showcases exactly why.

David Zwirner, 24 Grafton Street, London W1S 4EZ
Ciudad Juárez bears the scars of geopolitical conflict and drug-related violence. Plagued by turf wars and trafficking, in recent years the city has seen escalating levels of brutality, with kidnappings and murders commonplace. The landscape is now marked by this tension – abandoned buildings line the streets and children play among the debris. In ‘Ciudad Juárez projects’ Francis Alÿs takes this territory as his focus.

Eden Eden, Bülowstraße 74, Ecke Blumenthalstraße, 10783 Berlin
Here is a prosecution of the tale of dispossessed property and unknown exodus. We begin with two locations disparate in geography and climate. Within these coordinates are two communities, and still more impossibilities abound in just that.
SWG3 Gallery,100 Eastvale Place, Glasgow G3 8QG
The construction of this awkward environment is by no means accidental, Rose is intentionally creating a heightened sense of self-awareness so as to encourage thoughts around how we relate to ecosystems, to ourselves and to other people. Review by Rosie Aspinall Priest
Grundy Art Gallery, Queen Street, Blackpool FY1 1PU
From a giant inflatable moggy slumped against the gallery wall, to a projected animation of a rhythmically flicking black line, this exhibition brings together a number of works made by Mark Leckey over the last nine years that feature the character, and more precisely the tail, of Felix the Cat.
