Exhibitionist: This week's art shows in pictures

Guide gallery 20/02: Kim Rugg
Leo Fitzmaurice and Kim Rugg, Manchester
Cutting up catalogues, posters and flyers, Leo Fitzmaurice's methods can seem basic. The outcome, however, is amazing: futuristic devotional architecture made from the detritus of consumer advertising. Meanwhile, Kim Rugg's cut-and-paste scrapbook is targeted at mischievous media messages, such as chopping up postage stamps and sending them through the post. At Castlefield Gallery until 3 April 2010

Guide gallery 20/02: Kill Your Timid Notion
Kill Your Timid Notion, Dundee
There's likely to be nothing timid about this festival of music, art and film at Dundee Contemporary Arts. Projects by artists such as Morgan Fisher, Mattin and Sharon Lockhart are staged together just to see what happens, while Tehching Hsieh presents a film of himself punching a clock every hour for a year. The show runs ntil 28 February 2010

Guide gallery 20/02: Henry Tietzsch-Tyler
Henry Tietzsch-Tyler, Gainsborough
Tietzsch-Tyler's heavily shaded paintings are about as abstract as abstract can get. There's something almost petrified about this latest exhibition at the BendInTheRiver gallery; his paintings show expressive impulses muted, images mired in uncertainty ... yet, for sure, it's serious stuff. On until 13 March 2010

Guide gallery 20/02: Kenneth Anger
Kenneth Anger, London
Godfather of avant-garde cinema, occultist and Crowley devotee, Kenneth Anger forms the central focus of a new exhibition at Sprüth Magers. The show brings together two strands of Anger's taboo-busting cult: the 1969 film Invocation of My Demon Brother, and Hollywood Babylon, a book of scabrous tales about Hollywood's sinister side. Until 27 March 2010

Guide gallery 20/02: Gary Hume
Gary Hume, Salisbury
Super-slick paintings featuring bland subjects – from blackbirds and flowers to Kate Moss – made YBA Gary Hume the quintessential 1990s artist. His latest show, at Salisbury's New Art Centre, sees his candy-coloured pastels offset by darker hues: muted flowers against deepest charcoal black. Until 18 April 2010

Guide gallery 20/02: Jorge Pardo
Jorge Pardo/Anne Tallentire, Dublin
Jorge Pardo uses just about every conceivable fine art media for this retrospective, taking techniques from architecture and interior design and presenting them in the form of photo-mural wallpaper. Anne Tallentire, meanwhile, uses video performance, photography and sculpture to present fragmented narratives of urban life. At the Irish Museum of Modern Art until 3 May 2010

Guide gallery 20/02: Ron Arad
Ron Arad, London
Since 1981, when he grafted Rover car seats to a steel frame, Ron Arad has been blasting his own path through contemporary design. A new exhibition at the Barbican Art Gallery offers visitors the chance to test his innovations for themselves. On until 16 May 2010

Guide gallery 20/02: Henry Moore
Henry Moore, London
Sometimes it feels like there's always a Henry Moore exhibition going on somewhere, but this new survey at Tate Britain aims to cut through the sculptor's familiar image and show us a radical artist who changed with the times. Highlights include his era-defining drawings of the blitz. On display until 8 August 2010
