Lisson Gallery, 27 & 52 Bell Street, London NW1 5BU
Hiller’s juxtaposition of the fictional and “real” exposes a (hypo)critical ratio of representations of the paranormal. The horror film genre is saturated with profane and religious spiritual encounters which Hiller has mined to a pervasive, demonic effect. Kathryn Lloyd reviews
SPREEZ, Schwanthalerstraße 147, 80339 Munich, Germany
Inspired by movies such as '13 Going on 30', 'Freaky Friday' and '17 Again', Jasmin Werner and Jan Domicz have collaborated with an American ghostwriter to produce a fictional script, employing the works on view in their exhibition 'Reverse Time Your eyes will lie' as film props.

The Lorck Schive Art Prize 2015, Norway’s biggest accolade for a contemporary artist, was awarded on 12th November to Vanessa Baird. Her provocative drawings elicit a vital energy, channeling horror within the everyday, and the everyday within horror. Review by Benjamin Hoare.
Residency Unlimited, 360 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY and Complete Body (fitness center), 301 East 57th St, New York, NY 10022

Project Arts Centre, 39 East Essex Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2
‘Total Recall’ works best when thought as a kind of collage: forcing irreconcilable images alongside one another, it creates the imperative towards a narrative, or at least the sense of one. Review by Rebecca O’Dwyer
Spike Island, 133 Cumberland Road, Bristol BS1 6UX
Charlotte Prodger’s quavering voice is distinctive, with a strange, almost painfully self-conscious inflection. Hers is a voice that feels alien but wants to be heard. Review by Rowan Lear
Whitney Museum of American Art, 99 Gansevoort Street, New York, NY 10014
Jared Madere takes his chosen objects and employs them, not for their original purposes, but as materials for the beginnings of new object-based relations with legible 'art' forms, such as sculpture and textiles. Review by Rusty Van Riper
Wellcome Collection, 183 Euston Road, London NW1 2BE
The bodily change of colour as I move through the space is extraordinary - I’m cool in the blue, warm in the lush apricot. I feel the artwork rather than look at it. Review by Betsy Porritt
Roman Road, 69 Roman Road, London E2 0QN
Curious, delicately wrought and fascinated with the passing of time, the exhibition is so explicitly an extension of Italian artist Domingo Milella’s photographic practice that any weaker works here could easily have been shouted down by the strength of his curatorial premise. Helena Haimes reviews

Perhaps the ghosts and fictions that haunt museums have as much right to see the light of day as the usual suspects. Andrea Williamson reviews 'Albert the kid is ghosting'.
Galerie Buchholz, Fasanenstraße 30, 10719 Berlin
In her fourth solo exhibition with Galerie Buchholz, Lucy McKenzie has taken over the upstairs gallery to install a simulation of a private dwelling - the quintessential ‘live-work’ interior associated with young cultural entrepreneurs.
Wozownia Art Gallery, ul. Rabiańska 20, 87-100 Toruń
Ewa Doroszenko and Jacek Doroszenko's latest exhibition combines sound installations, video works and a unique electronic audio composition, mixed with sounds recorded in Barcelona and lo-fi music.
Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery, Drake Circus, Plymouth PL4 8AJ
The first ARTIST ROOMS exhibition at Plymouth Museum presents a relatively minimal but carefully selected range of works which bring to light much of Gerhard Richter’s artistic complexity. Review by Edith Doove
