Exhibitionist: The week's art shows in pictures

Working Against the System, Newcastle upon Tyne This exhibition draws together eight contemporary artists who set up frameworks that they then almost perversely go on to work against. Yvonne Hindle – whose Enceladus, acrylic on canvas, is pictured here – creates her elaborate and almost baroque semi-abstracts by meticulously building up layer upon layer of slimy wet-into-wet paint. At Gallery North , to 8 April Photograph: Luke Unsworth Oscar Muñoz, Manchester Muñoz channels a concern with the disappearing lives caused by the seemingly interminable violence in his native Colombia into meditations on the broader nature of memory, loss and mortality. Above, his single screen projection Línea del destino. At Cornerhouse , to 27 March Photograph: PR Roman Ondák, Oxford For his latest show, Time Capsule, Ondák plugs into headline news with a recreation of the capsule and escape shaft that saw 33 Chilean miners ascend to freedom last year. Above, Time Capsule, 2011 (preliminary documentary photograph for installation). At Modern Art Oxford , Sat to 20 May Photograph: PR Ida Applebroog, London Now in her 80s, Applebroog's work harks back to feminism's early days, when women artists brought their bodies into the picture in radical ways. Above, Marginalia (strapped man), 1992, oil and resin on canvas. At Hauser & Wirth , Savile Row, W1, Thu to 30 April Photograph: Emily Poole/Courtesy the artist and Hauser & Wirth Photograph: PR Shirin Neshat, Wakefield The exiled Iranian artist creates short, mysterious and highly lyrical video installations that are almost all deeply melancholic yet also painfully sensual. Above, a still from Neshat's film Soliloquy. At Yorkshire Sculpture Park , to 26 June Photograph: PR The Natural Order of Things, London Two young Brazilian artists – Marcelo Cidade and André Komatsu – bent on urban subversion have collaborated to create a vandal's dream show, featuring plenty of concrete, broken glass and a large hammer. Above, Komatsu's Como se comporta o que se consome, como se consome o que se comporta, 2009. At Max Wigram Gallery , W1, to 9 April Photograph: Max Wigram Gallery Photograph: PR Esprit et Vérité: Watteau and His Circle/Watteau: The Drawings, London Dressing-up fantasies, casual flirting and frisky dalliances fill the canvases of Jean-Antoine Watteau, the rococo genius who introduced a particular kind of erotic tremor to French art. Above, Watteau's A Lady at Her Toilet (La toilette), c.1716-18, oil on canvas. At Royal Academy of Arts , and The Wallace Collection , Sat to 5 June Photograph: Courtesy of The Wallace Collection Photograph: PR igloo: Visitor, Nottingham Under the collaborative moniker of igloo, Ruth Gibson and Bruno Martelli bring back – via multimedia installations – their recent experiences of travelling through the snow-bound mountains of the Canadian Rockies.
