Exhibitionist: The week's art shows in pictures

Exhibitionist 28/05: All That Fits
All That Fits, Derby
Katya Sander's Televised, showing as part of All That Fits, an insightful look at fact and fiction in contemporary art which borrows from news documentary and reportage. The show also features Eric Baudelaire's The Dreadful Details, which brings Manet's 1867 painting The Execution of Maximilian up to date in images that restage atrocities of the Iraq war. At QUAD, Derby, until 31 July

Exhibitionist 28/05: Cornelia Parker
Cornelia Parker, York
Parker's Thirty Pieces of Silver has more than 1,000 silver objects – from candlesticks to an old trombone – collected by the artist, flattened by a steam roller and suspended from the cathedral ceiling so they appear to levitate. At York St Mary's until 30 October

Exhibitionist 28/05: Ed Ruscha
Ed Ruscha, Wolverhampton
HONK (1963), showing as part of a small collection of works donated from the collection of Anthony d'Offay. Ruscha depicts the culturally hot landscape of Hollywood with an aptly cool technical restraint. At Wolverhampton Art Gallery until 29 October

Exhibitionist 28/05: Imogen Stidworthy
Imogen Stidworthy, London
Stidworthy's work demonstrates her interest in language, whether as cultural glue, or through subversive translations. Her latest exhibition is dominated by the incredible but true figure of Sacha Van Loo – a blind linguist, fluent in seven languages and with an ear finely tuned to hundreds of accents – who analyses wire-tap recordings for the Belgian police. At Matt's Gallery, London E3, until 17 July

Exhibitionist 28/05: Josephine Pryde
Josephine Pryde, London
For her first UK show in six years, Pryde returns to the theme of reproduction, combining fantasy fertilities with a technological vision of biological reality. The show's title, Embryos and Estate Agents: L'Art de Vivre, sets the teasing tone for how this might be approached. At Chisenhale Gallery, London E3, until 10 July

Exhibitionist 28/05: Linder
Linder, London
Linder's Untitled, 2011, part of her latest series which fuses magazine cookery pages with retro-looking soft porn imagery: wry collisions of the different fantasies sold to men and women. Showing at Modern Art, London W1, until 24 June

Exhibitionist 28/05: house work
House Work, Manchester
It's increasingly common for art shows to sample or subvert scenarios of domestic respectability. Jo Lansley and Neeta Madahar present a photographic diptych (Scape, above) that uses a bedroom backdrop for evocations of barely suppressed longing. Other works from the show tackle the familial theme in everything from shantytown sculptures to an account of the last days of a dying grandmother meticulously drawn from mobile phone snapshots. At The International 3, Manchester, until 17 June
