Exhibitionist: The week's art shows in pictures

Exhibitionist2711: Childish Things
Childish Things, Edinburgh
Artists from the 80s and 90s present perspectives on childhoods fraught with ambivalences. In Jeff Koon's Bear and Policeman (1988), an oversized teddy bear menacingly cuddles an English bobby. At The Fruitmarket Gallery until 23 January

Exhibitionist2711: Drawing in Progress
Drawing in Progress, Middlesbrough
Some 40 drawings recently purchased for the gallery show the continuing relevance in our hi-tech world of the most primal of mark-making media. Barbara Kruger is represented by a photo-collage declaiming You Are The Perfect Crime (above). At MIMA until 20 March

Exhibitionist2711: Hilary Lloyd
Hilary Lloyd, London
Lloyd's camera scrutinises foreign cities, roadworks and fashion magazines, turning what could be routine views into transfixing studies in looking.

Exhibitionist2711: Unfold: A Cape Farewell Expedition
Unfold: A Cape Farewell Expedition, Newlyn
Since 2001, the Cape Farewell project has seen artists, architects, writers and musicians up sticks for Arctic climes to create work about global warming. However, Lucy and Jorge Orta's water-carrier vitrine (above) was inspired by their work in the Amazon. At Newlyn Art Gallery until 22 January

Exhibitionist2711: Christine Borland
Christine Borland, Glasgow
In this exhibition, Borland creatively 'discusses' the recent use in medical schools of 'simulated patients' – actors, hi-fidelity manikins and interactive digital software – a practice she compares with public dissections by early anatomists. Her works include (above) recast of From Nature (detail), credited to Sir John Goodsir (1814-1867). At Sculpture Studios to 26 March

ceal floyer things
Ceal Floyer, London
Berlin-based artist Floyer's beguiling, low-key work is full of smart visual puns and gentle absurdities. In her installation Things, a single word 'Things' is the only short, lonely sample from a pop song to emanate from empty plinths in a bare gallery. At Lisson Gallery until 29 January
