Exhibitionist: The week's art shows in pictures

Exhibitionist 0406: Eva and Franco Mattes
Eva and Franco Mattes, Sheffield
What these two artist-provocateurs will get up to in this exhibition is anyone's guess. The pair have angered the Vatican by subtly aping its website and falsely passed off their logo (pictured here) as the work of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan. At the Site Gallery until 30 July

Exhibitionist 0406: LAURIE SIMMONS
Laurie Simmons, London
The artist's latest series of photographs sees a Japanese love doll posed around her new home. The fact that she arrived in the post – not just with separate genitalia but an engagement ring – haunts the images. On show at the Wilkinson gallery until 10 July
