Exhibitionist: The week's art shows in pictures

Exhibitionist 29/10: simon le ruez correspondence
Simon Le Ruez: This Is Where We Meet, Newcastle upon Tyne
Jersey-born artist Simon Le Ruez gets better with every show, and extends his creative vocabulary with an exhibition of recent sculptures, installations and paintings. His 2010 work Correspondence (Hallentrödelmarkt) is made from antique postcards and acrylic paint, the cards an example of source material doctored to leave inconclusive suspicions of moody and momentous goings-on behind the scenery. At Vane, until 17 December 2011

Exhibitionist 29/10: Building The Revolution Richard Pare
Building the Revolution, London
In designing worker's clubs, housing blocks and radio towers, Soviet Russia had avant garde artists for inspiration. A new survey pairs photographs of the architecture of the late 20s and 30s – such as Richard Pare's capturing of Shabolovka Radio Tower, above – with paintings by leading constructivists. At the Royal Academy of Arts, W1, until 22 January 2012

Exhibitionist 29/10: Civic sophie helas-kwo
Civic, Sunderland
Sophie Helas-Kwo's grafitti scrawl God Is Laughing is part of a show called The First International Festival of Billboard Art, taking place across three galleries and 13 billboards, which knowingly infiltrates the urban environment of constant assailment by screens, signs and advertisements. At various venues, until 13 November 2011

Exhibitionist 29/10: Graham Gussin As If
Graham Gussin: As If, London
Gussin's latest project sees him visit the original hotel where Wim Wenders's 1982 film The State of Things was shot, creating slides and photographs that summon its sci-fi phantoms. Above, a survival sheet blows through the building's modernist spaces, like a silvery ghost or a UFO. At Art House Foundation, E2, until 3 December 2011

Exhibitionist 29/10: Jony Easterby: Carillon Shadows
Jony Easterby: Carillon Shadows, West Bromwich
A new commission by Easterby forms part of the Art of Noise programme at The Public, celebrating the Midlands' cultural heritage of heavy metal, reggae, punk and bhangra. The artist has adapted the numinous aura of the bell-tower carillon to the enchanting possibilities activated by electronic sensors set within the primal spookiness of a darkened room. At The Public, until 15 January 2012

Exhibitionist 29/10: Siobhan Davies Commissions
Siobhan Davies Commissions, London
A Dance of Ownership, A Song in Hand, by Gill Clarke and Lucy Skaer, is one of several commissions by the maverick choreographer Siobhan Davies that give performers the chance to tread new territory in collaboration with artists. At The Bargehouse, SE1, until 13 November 2011

Exhibitionist 29/10: Savage Bodzianowski
Cezary Bodzianowski/Savage, Bristol
Polish artist Bodzianowski's slapstick antics have included running inside a barrel while wearing roller skates, and standing beneath a tree pretending to be a bush. His first UK solo show is paired with the Bristol-based artist Savage, whose latest offerings include a frenzied collage of Hollywood clips where the question is repeatedly posed: "What do you want from me?" At Spike Island, until 27 November 2011

Exhibitionist 29/10: Kurt Hentschlager ZEE
Kurt Hentschläger: ZEE, Liverpool
This immersive, mysterious installation creates a multitude of multicoloured fractal hallucinations. Strobe lights in clouds of fog make normal vision impossible as sound and light seize you in a disorienting embrace. Sample visitor responses: "It's like death" and "like entering heaven". At FACT, until 27 November 2011
