In Gangsta's Paradise, the impish Jess Flood-Paddock builds a towering Eden of oddities, full of the witty and the weird. But does her first major solo exhibition lack direction? Find out at the Hayward Gallery Project Space, London, between 4 August and 19 September 2010 Photograph: PR
The world-renowned Brazilian artist presents his first UK exhibition, which makes the mundane mystical through a series of exquisitely simple images and sculptures. Get along to Edinburgh's Ingleby Gallery by 25 September 2010 Photograph: Eduardo Ortega Estudio Foto
The latest offering from this eccentric artist-couple is Luna Park – a giant, industrially produced dinosaur sculpture created by laid-off Serbian factory-workers and erected on Southsea Common.

Nudity, laughter and, er, jelly are the buzz-words in the art section of this year's music festival.

An ingenious pairing of two distinctly moody sets of photographs. Paul Nash's Private World suite, above, is an extended study in pathetic fallacy, while Fay Godwin's Remains of Elmet series converts the brooding moorlands of the Calder Valley into stark monochrome tragedies. See them at Sheffield's Graves Gallery until 14 November 2010 Photograph: Hazel Drummond
Video installations – including a re-enactment of the infamous Stanford prison experiment, in which volunteer guards began to display genuine brutality – work to cast doubt on moral convictions formed by social convention. Prepare to be ruffled at Northern Gallery For Contemporary Art in Sunderland until 9 October Photograph: PR
