The Chapel at St Margaret's House, 21 Old Ford Road London, E2 9PL
'Whisper to me in HTML' is the inaugural exhibition of PRELIM PROJECTS - an exhibition series of emerging artists in temporary locations. Taking the physical languages and signs of our daily e-interactions as its starting point, the group show features the work of art404, Tessa Perutz and Imogen Lloyd.

In ‘A RESTORATION’ Price’s audiovisual elements are offset by an unseen ‘chorus’ of museum administrators - the temporary custodians of a particular narrative. Review by Paul Black
Kelvin Hall, 1445 Argyle Street, Glasgow G3 8AW
In ‘Bright Bodies’, a new installation for Glasgow International, Barclay’s sensitive and highly physical choreography is engaged in a course of action through the history, archives and social spaces of Kelvin Hall. Review by Alexander Hetherington
FACT, 88 Wood Street, Liverpool L1 4DQ
Kurokawa’s domain lies in a ‘synaesthetic’ approach, resulting in a multisensorial experience, where sounds, pictures and tactile simulations blend and disable us from differentiating one from another. Review by Dominika Mackiewicz
Raven Row, 56 Artillery Ln, London E1 7LS
Channa Horwitz consistently produced works based upon the number eight. The exhibition of her work at Raven Row, the first large institutional show of her extraordinary drawings, thus acts as a testament to a lifelong fixation. Review by Alex Borkowski
Space In Between, Unit 26 Regent Studios, 8 Andrews Road, London E8 4QN

Bailey’s (de)construction requests us to duck and dive to navigate the show. Each wall has a visual clue or reminder pushing our investigation further along – the tiniest of photographic prints document what looks to be a construction site witnessed through the stand-offish glance of a voyeur alongside bodily x-rays. Review by Sophie Risner
waterside contemporary, 2 Clunbury Street, London N1 6TT
Fumai summons historical figures through physical fragments, the show itself becoming a kind of séance. She has collected and catalogued snipped up photographs of hands and faces, hair, lace gloves, a white ruffled shirt and scarf, candle wicks and holders, and a Ouija board, part of a larger installation that re-enacts their narratives. Review by Cassie Davies

In his second exhibition at von Bartha, the conceptual artist Florian Slotawa presents a selection of new works in which he pairs objects painted in car paint lacquers with readymade objects in matching or complementary colours.
M Woods, D-06, 798 Art Zone, No. 2 Jiuxianqiao Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100015
M WOODS presents 'All Means Are Sacred', an exhibition which brings together works by artists across fifteen centuries in a focused examination of reverence, energy, and the spirit. Staging an encounter between contemporary and pre-contemporary works, the exhibition will confront the means by which art seeks to transcend, often in unconventional ways, the materials and conditions of its making.
New Museum, 235 Bowery, New York, NY 10002
Participants are required to imagine their own reasons for the objects being chosen for the show rather than it being made clear why they were included. 'A Pot for a Latch' is an Internet of 'things' predicated upon community and storytelling instead of explicit information. Review by Dylan Schenker
Hospitalfield Arts, Hospitalfield Road, Arbroath DD11 2NH
The slight oppressiveness of the Hospitalfield house marries well with Fagen’s work. Presiding over the bass notes and burning eyes of Ghetto Priest in the Cedar Room installation, portraits of the Allan-Fraser family (with obligatory dog) loom large. We are guests, albeit invited ones, just as Fagen’s exhibition is also a guest. Review by Sacha Waldron
