Exhibitionist: The week's art shows in pictures

Exhibitionist0708: Suki Chan
Sleep Walk Sleep Talk, Nottingham
Video artist Suki Chan turns her camera on the subject of nocturnal London and manages to contrast the beauty of the city with its more wearisome and manic undercurrents. At the New Art Exchange until 4 September 2010

Exhibitionist0708: Associate Artist Residency
Associate Artist Residency, Colchester

Exhibitionist0708: Let There Be Sculpture
Let There Be Sculpture, Salisbury

Exhibitionist0708: Vintage At Goodwood
Vintage at Goodwood, Chichester
Banishing wellies and rave tents in favour of roller discos and old frocks, Wayne Hemingway's new "vintage" festival is aimed at the more discerning partygoer. The art programme promises a mix of old-school talent, rock memorabilia, and cheap and cheerful gags. At the Goodwood Estate from 13 to 15 August 2010

Exhibitionist0708: Sergio Vega
Sergio Vega, Birmingham
In a multiple-screen video installation titled Paradise: Real Time, Argentina-born artist Vega reckons he has located heaven-on-Earth in Mato Grosso, Brazil – the overall effect is sublime and somehow sad. At Ikon Eastside until 5 September 2010

Exhibitionist0708: Faris Badwan
Faris Badwan, London
This show by the notoriously quiet Horrors frontman, a former student of illustration at London's Central St Martins, has 100 new works on paper, plus limited-edition prints and projections. The rock star's largely monochrome work forms a kind of stream-of-consciousness diary. At The Book Club from 11 to 29 August 2010

Exhibitionist0708: Jo Shapland
Jo Shapland: (in)scape, Llandudno
Jo Shapland, a dancer who translates her choreographic skills into installations, has been visiting Oriel Mostyn during its three-year refurbishment. Now, in the recently reopened space, she exhibits the photographs, videos and sculptural objects she has accrued through her observations. At Oriel Mostyn until 25 September 2010

Exhibitionist0708: Joan Mitchell
Joan Mitchell, Edinburgh
A beautiful coming together: Joan Mitchell's florid yet sinuous abstract paintings and the 18th-century tranquility of Inverleith and its Royal Botanic Garden. The American artist's work is still under-recognised, so this is a long-overdue, timely and delightful reappraisal. At Inverleith House until 3 October 2010
