Exhibitionist: The week's art shows in pictures

Exhibitionist2304: Baghdad
Baghdad, 5 March 2007, Jeremy Deller, Manchester
In 2009 Jeremy Deller's engagement with the vagaries of newsworthy fact suddenly got more interesting when he toured the US showing the wreck of a car destroyed by a Baghdad suicide bomber. Now the car appears in his new multimedia installation. Baghdad, 5 March 2007 is at Imperial War Museum North until 31 January 2012

Exhibitionist2304: Barbara Kruger
Barbara Kruger, London
Kruger's clever take on media slogans and advertising imagery shot her to fame in the 1980s, but she's been increasingly working with video since. The Globe Shrinks, her latest installation, riffs on the conventions of US sitcoms. At Sprüth Magers until 21 May

Exhibitionist2304: David Nash
David Nash, Exeter
After his hit show at Yorkshire Sculpture Park last year, David Nash is back with more planed and chiselled, and sometimes burned and gnarled, wood sculptures, such as Charred Cross Egg (2003). At CCANW, Haldon Forest; Dartington Hall, Totnes, until 25 September

Exhibitionist2304: David Whitaker
David Whitaker, Blackpool
The first ever retrospective of the late David Whitaker in his native Blackpool. His meticulous multicoloured abstract works show him to be the master of masking tape, but the precision of paintings such as Watershed No 2 (1969) do not detract from the contemplative depth of his creations. At Grundy Art Gallery until 14 May

Exhibitionist2304: Gareth Jones
Gareth Jones, Milton Keynes
Jones is known for small geometric sculptures, assemblages of card and tape that also use vintage postcards and magazines. Here, all works reference his birthplace in Milton Keynes. Sliced Cube No 2, 1998. At MK Gallery until 26 June

Exhibitionist2304: Jean-Marc Bustamante
Jean-Marc Bustamante, Leeds, London
This French artist combines photography and sculpture in single works to enigmatic effect. At the Henry Moore Institute (until 26 June), 12 boxes strewn around the floor contain photographs of cypress trees. At Timothy Taylor Gallery in London (until 27 May), he takes this further by mixing drawing, painting and digital sculpture

Exhibitionist2304: John Atkinson Grimshaw
Painter of Moonlight, John Atkinson Grimshaw, Harrogate
This Leeds-born Victorian painter of landscapes and cityscapes should not appeal to the modern eye, but the clarity of vision and the marbling of moonlight in works such as Boar Lane, Leeds show why his work has endured. At Mercer Art Gallery until 4 September

Exhibitionist2304: The Great White Way Goes Black
The Great White Way Goes Black, London
Katharina Sieverding's four-part photograph IX (pictured) was created during the New York blackout in 1977, and shows the artist as a superhuman of billboard proportions. Her iconic self-portraits set the scene for this group show that explores selfhood in society. At Vilma Gold, London, until 29 May
