Snow is arguably one of Canada’s most internationally famed contemporary artists, known most commonly for his innovative work in film and video. ‘Powers of Two’ also brings together more recent sculpture and photo-based work with a refreshing collection of rarely seen early drawings and illustrations. Review by Emma Rae Warburton

Bobby Jewell reviews an exhibition on the theme of digging by Anglo-Swiss collective JocJonJosch at Laure Genillard Gallery.
The Ian Potter Museum of Art, Swanston Street, University of Melbourne, Parkville VIC 3010
Drawn to the messy nature of clay, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran admits that he is no master potter. Rather than reinventing the wheel, Nithiyendran has abandoned it entirely, in favour of a more visceral approach. Piling lump upon lump of clay, the artist forms crude figurines through which he explores notions of creation, religion and gender. Review by Hayley Haynes.

The second edition of ‘Jerwood Solo Presentations’ showcases three separate, newly commissioned bodies of work. These works, whilst not unified by a curatorial theme, share a political pertinence and urgency, exploring ideas of privacy and visibility, what connects and unites us, and what is imposed to keep us divided. Jessie Bond reviews
Hauser & Wirth, 23 Savile Row, London W1S 2ET

PEER, 97-99 Hoxton Street, London N1 6QL
A wicker basket spits hay across the floor from its gormless mouth. Papier-mâché masks with hooked noses and chins, a pair of hessian arms ending in red hands and a roughly hewn cudgel are nestled in a rustic bed. Jessie Bond reviews a collaborative exhibition by artists Jonathan Baldock and Emma Hart.

‘The Ideal Husband’, an exhibition of work by Egon Van Herreweghe and Thomas Min, is primarily shaped by its location. The characteristics of the venue are taken as a starting point for this show, which is a careful survey of notions related to virility, masculinity and manhood in modern times. Review by Josephine Van De Walle.

Hiorns’ works are charged with a bodily materiality, bio-politics, time and collapse. An atomised jet engine is placed on the floor next to the video work ‘Benign’. A series of paintings in decaying latex depict sexual acts between men, surrounded by clusters of disembodied erections. Review by Cathy Wade.
Frith Street Gallery, 17-18 Golden Square, London W1F 9JJ
Carolina Mostert considers Dayanita Singh's 'Museum of Shedding', an exhibition that considers time, change, inspiration and the inner processes of the artist.
Tenderpixel, 8 Cecil Court, London WC2N 4HE
As her close-ups swing between moving hands and accessories, between the cooking and the subtle transformation of facial expressions, the artist leads the viewer into an extremely intimate territory. Bianca Baroni reviews a video installation by Rehana Zaman.
Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gardens, London W2 3XA
An oddly anthropomorphic sculpture, ‘Casters’, sets the tone for Lucy Raven’s first solo show in the UK, a diverse collection of works which identify and re-animate marginal spaces of cinematic imagery. Review by Henrietta Landells
Frankfurter Kunstverein, Steinernes Haus am Römerberg, Markt 44, D-60311 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Having enticed one so successfully, the exhibition steadily introduces the key concepts behind Eric van Hove’s practice, all of which seem rooted in a fascination with the changing cultural contexts of commercial goods. Review by J.D.A. Winslow.
