Museum of Bath at Work, Julian Road, Bath BA1 2RH
Amid the steel and soot, grease and cogs, belts and tools of the factory, haunts an alien presence. It’s a surreal stage set in the heart of the museum, reconstructing the interior of a working class household in the early twentieth century. Review by Rowan Lear
Grand Union, 19 Minerva Works, Fazeley Street, Birmingham B5 5RS
OVER AND OVER PURE FORM presents a body of interconnected works exploring embodied learning and the distance between experience and images.
Castlefield Gallery, 2 Hewitt St, Manchester M15 4GB
This is an exhibition of paintings that exist on their own terms, for their own sake, works that provide a physical presence and don’t just passively sit on a wall to be admired. Review by Tom Emery

'The Infinite Lawn' navigates the ambiguous object of labour via material margins, centralising marginality. James Gormley reviews
Picnic Picnic, 155 John Street, Sheffield S2 4QX
Taking its inspiration from the punch-lines and pitfalls of creating entertaining and amusing work, 'Tuff Crowd' invites artists whose practice absorbs and highlights the humour in the act of being an artist, asking the audience to broaden their understanding of what conceptual art can be. Review by Lindsey Mendick
Berloni Gallery, 63 Margaret Street, London W1W 8SW
Woodeson’s modernism is more hot than cool. Despite employing techniques of repetition and reduction, the work has a striking emotional impact. Not only do we become aware of the materiality of the objects in the space, but of our own flesh. Review by Philomena Epps
Gagosian Gallery, 6-24 Britannia Street London WC1X 9JD
The mixing of contemporary and older works allows for formal cues to take precedent over historical context. These juxtapositions allow for new comparisons to be made. What do Warhol and Latham hold in common? What does Kapoor’s piece suggest about the current status of the medium? Review by Katherine Jackson
Jerwood Visual Arts, Jerwood Space, 171 Union Street, Bankside, London SE1 0LN
Fiona Haggerty explores the potential of artists and makers working within the realms of what has traditionally been termed the applied arts to challenge and redefine this area.

Despite its literary counterparts, the title of this exhibition is taken from a Madrid band called A Room with a View (1990-2000). In the same way the group began to distance itself from the premises of hardcore music to explore less related sound modules, these featured artists use photography to rehearse other connected discourses with a language – visual – in continuous transformation.

The exhibition ‘TRANSITION’ deals with delineating the terms figuration and abstraction that still function as opposing binaries.
British Pavilion, Viale Giardini Pubblici, 30122 Venezia, Italy
The heavily political and theoretical tone of this year’s Biennale makes Lucas’ work seem even brasher and somehow at odds with the other, sometimes earnest and frequently socially engaged, works on display. Review by Will Gresson
Romanian Pavilion, Giardini della Biennale, Sestiere Castello, 30122 Venice
In his solo exhibition ‘Darwin's Room’ presented at Venice, Ghenie intriguingly takes the mode of inhabiting historical characters in order to reflect upon the difficult and often traumatic underpinnings of local histories. Review by Giuseppe Marasco
Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Avenue, NY 10065
This being a trademark Philippe Parreno production, visitors are constantly compelled to experience the physicality of the exhibition and its components, and to cognitively soak in its sounds and images. Review by Arthur Ivan Bravo
