The duo's latest body of work, begun last summer in the 30km exclusion zone surrounding Chernobyl, does more than simply document the fallout from a power plant in meltdown. As with all their work, the large-format photographs they have produced are cinematic in scope, suggesting the tragic stories that haunt ruined buildings.

Is the spontaneous culture of the street compromised when given cultural recognition by being presented in an establishment venue? This exhibition of big names gives you a chance to decide. At Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery until 25 September Photograph: PR
Two years ago, one of Danish artist and environmentalist Greenfort's typically subtle interventions involved opening up the South London Gallery's hedge to allow direct access from the housing estate at the rear. Now he's back, probing the same gallery's relationship with the surrounding community, climate change and government policy. At the SLG until 11 September Photograph: PR
