guideexhibgall1302: Candice Breitz
Candice Breitz, London

Jitish Kallat, London
Kallat's work has become as bright and mercurial as the city he draws inspiration from: Mumbai. In his exhibition at Haunch of Venison, entitled The Astronomy of the Subway, a sculpture of a kerosene stove is enormous, while rioting crowds of tiny figures seem in danger of being trodden on. Until 27 March 2010

Ron Mueck, Manchester
Any show of Mueck's hyper-real sculptural figures is bound to bring up the age-old dilemma: can art this intriguing really be any good? Decide for yourself: his fleshy tableaux are on display at Manchester Art Gallery until 11 April 2010

Fiona Crisp, Newlyn
In Crisp's new series of photographs, spooky locations – all tourist destinations – become psychologically charged underworlds, leading the eye on and on, into the dark. Subterrania is at Newlyn Art Gallery until 17 April 2010

guideexhibgall1302: Ian Breakwell
Ian Breakwell, Derby
This is the first major retrospective of the work of Ian Breakwell, who died just five years ago after establishing himself as one of the most mischievous art-world provocateurs of the late-20th century. The show, subtitled Elusive States of Happiness, is at QUAD until 18 April 2010

guideexhibgall1302: Billy Childish
Billy Childish, London
If Childish never reached a broad audience, it's probably because his anti-establishment stance, nay-saying contemporary culture's power systems, would never allow it. Yet now he's got a survey show at the ICA, suggesting he might have finally found his moment. Open until 18 April 2010

guideexhibgall1302: Don McCullin
Don McCullin, Manchester
A retrospective of more than 50 years of frontline photography by one of the most incisive war photographers of all time, Shaped by War is at the Imperial War Museum North until 13 June 2010
