Exhibitionist: The week's art shows in pictures

Anselm Kiefer, Gateshead Another strand of the Anthony d'Offay Artist Rooms touring programme, a collection of paintings, sculptures and installations showing the full range of one of the most dramatically expressive living artists. Pictured here: Urd Werdande Skuld (The Norns), 1983. At BALTIC until 16 January Photograph: PR James Hugonin, Edinburgh Hugonin works on just one canvas each year, building up their composition of tiny brush marks so the accumulative effect tends to slow down the process of one's looking to a contemplative calm. One is reminded of the reflective serenity of the Quaker poet Basil Bunting, whose work Briggflatts was a key influence on Hugonin's thinking. While remaining uncompromisingly abstract, Hugonin's images are irresistibly charismatic. Pictured here: Untitled XVIII 2009-10 (detail). Edinburgh Ingleby Gallery , until 20 November Photograph: PR Lindsay Seers and Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Coventry What an imaginatively apt pairing: video installation by Lindsay Seer set aside the Imaginary Prisons of 18th-century printmaker Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Dealing with the disappearance of her stepsister, Seers's work takes us on a journey mapped out by photographic clues and family reminiscences. Piranesi's moody etchings add a backdrop of almost apocalyptic paranoia. Pictured here: Seers' It has to be this way2 (2010) (installation shot exterior). Mead Gallery , to 11 December Photograph: PR Marina Abramovic, London The grand-dame of performance art brings an exhibition of new and key past works to London, coinciding with the Frieze art fair. Pictured here: Portrait with Potatoes. Lisson Gallery , until 13 November Photograph: Charles Griffin Peter Lanyon, St Ives Peter Lanyon (1918-1964) was the lone Cornishman of the St Ives school and his paintings and sculptures are rooted in the local landscape. He would become a leading advocate of abstract expressionism in the UK, with his later works animated by lively brushstrokes executed with an almost casual verve. Pictured here: Construction for 'Lost Mine' (1959). Tate St Ives 9 October-23 January Photograph: PR The Museum Of Everything, London One of last autumn's most popular projects is back with more outsider art. This time around Sir Peter Blake is presenting his collection of ephemera, from Elvis-branded condoms to Sonny Liston waxworks, alongside a Victorian marvel, Mr Potter's Museum Of Curiosities, marrying the cute with the macabre. The Museum of Everything , NW1, 13 October until Christmas Photograph: PR Walid Raad, London The Lebanese artist's videos and photos explore conflict in the Middle East. Whitechapel Gallery 14 October-2 January Photograph: PR Yayoi Kusama, London The Japanese art icon presents some of her ever-dotty work. Victoria Miro Gallery until 13 November Photograph: PR
