Matt Stokes captures top gurning action from the clubbing scene in a still from his 2009 video work These Are The Days. One of several investigations into music subcultures, look out also for Jubilee Dancer, which makes use of footage shot with a night-vision camera at a rave in Cumbria. Video and photo works by the artist are showing at Workplace Gallery, Gateshead, 25 June to 30 July Photograph: Courtesy of the artist and Workplace Gallery
Combining horse, snake, fish and wallaby, the 20-foot Sea Monster by Charles Avery is bound to be a huge draw at this year's Folkestone Triennial, facing off with another curiosity of the sea, Cornelia Parker's bronze mermaid. The triennial takes place at various venues from 25 June to 25 September

Paul Etienne Lincoln's Sinfonia Torinese/Cyanopica Cyanus (Blue Magpie), 2005, showing as part of An Aurelian Labyrinth and Other Explications. Look out for the centrepiece, a scale model referencing physicist Michael Faraday, baroque music and butterflies – it consists of a mechanical flower cutter, triggered by a recording of Bach to cut a maze in a bed of genetically modified pansies. Yes, really. Showing at South London Gallery, London SE5, 30 June to 18 September Photograph: Paul Etienne Lincoln
Rinaldo and Armida, c1628 by intellectual elitist of 17th-century painting Nicolas Poussin. Works by Poussin will be appearing alongside those by acclaimed American abstract expressionist Cy Twombly.

Louise B by Maurizio Anzeri, an example of the artist's working practice which combined 1930s and 40s portrait photographs salvaged from flea markets, overlaid with finely sewn colours. The resulting works are collages akin to a hybrid of the early 20th-century works of Hannah Höch and Raoul Hausmann and contemporary goth-tribal piercings.

Untitled by Kitty Kraus, 2008. It may not look like much, but made from ice infused by black ink, the work will evolve over summer to create a rather lovely spillage on the gallery floor. Kraus's work shows alongside objects by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Katie Paterson and Takahiro Iwasaki, the common theme being art works that change and disperse, aspiring to states of next-to-nothingness. At Cornerhouse, Manchester, to 11 September Photograph: Kitty Kraus
Magritte's The Listening Room, one of several surrealist works. Alongside oversized fruit, look out for the artist's chief protagonist – a thoroughly bourgeous bowler-hatted businessman, the otherworldly doppelganger of the deadpan artist himself. At Tate Liverpool to 16 October Photograph: © Charly Herscovici
