Exhibitionist: The week's art shows in pictures

Jane and Louise Wilson, Southampton The duo's latest body of work, begun last summer in the 30km exclusion zone surrounding Chernobyl, does more than simply document the fallout from a power plant in meltdown. As with all their work, the large-format photographs they have produced are cinematic in scope, suggesting the tragic stories that haunt ruined buildings. At John Hansard Gallery from Saturday until 10 September Photograph: PR Jake or Dinos Chapman, London Rascal Brit art duo Jake and Dinos Chapman say they make work for each other's amusement. To that end they've been working independently for a year and what they'll reveal here will be as much of a surprise to one another as to gallery goers. At both of London's White Cube galleries , in Hoxton Square and Mason's Yard, from today until 17 September Photograph: PR The Jameel Prize 2011, London Old traditions entwine with present-day concerns in work by the 10 finalists for the 2011 Jameel prize, featuring Hadieh Shafie's 22,500 Pages (above). At London's V&A from Thursday until 25 September Photograph: PR Leo Fitzmaurice, Nils Norman, Manchester Fitzmaurice has collected 800 discarded cigarette packet tops from pavements around the world and fashioned them into miniature football shirts. This is the kind of daft thing artists do: adapting the cast-offs of consumer culture through a process of determined and obsessive repetition to an agenda that is all the more delightful for being so utterly futile. At Cube until 20 August Photograph: PR Mariah Robertson, Gateshead This US artist seeks to rescue pre-digital photography by leading it away from traditional forms using an elaborate network of abstract chemical stains, evocative silhouettes and deliberate technical errors. At Baltic until 30 October Photograph: Adam Reich Stanley Spencer and the English Garden, nr Warwick The 20th-century artist Spencer became renowned for the painful honesty of his nude portraits and the highly personalised Christianity of his visionary reinventions of biblical resurrection, but it's to his passion for the Englishness of Cookham's gardens that this lovely show is dedicated. At Compton Verney until 2 October Photograph: PR Street Art, Nottingham Is the spontaneous culture of the street compromised when given cultural recognition by being presented in an establishment venue? This exhibition of big names gives you a chance to decide. At Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery until 25 September Photograph: PR Tue Greenfort, London Two years ago, one of Danish artist and environmentalist Greenfort's typically subtle interventions involved opening up the South London Gallery's hedge to allow direct access from the housing estate at the rear. Now he's back, probing the same gallery's relationship with the surrounding community, climate change and government policy. At the SLG until 11 September Photograph: PR
