Do Ho Suh: Passage/s @ Victoria Miro
16 Wharf Rd, N1 7RW

The Korean-born installation artist’s trademark fabric works, that confound notions of space and scale, are on show to enjoy (and in the case of Hubs, even walk-through) at the Victoria Miro Gallery, along with a selection of drawings that illuminate his process. See our full review. Until 18 March

Tschabalala Self @ Parasol Unit
14 Wharf Rd, N1 7RW

Parasol Unit presents this American artist’s first show in the United Kingdom. As pieces titled My Black Ass and Bellyphat may suggest, her work is part-informed by the patchwork of racialized fantasies that form the backbone of so many portrayals of the black female body. However Self’s pieces rise above this with boldness, visual wit and celebratory vibrancy, giving more complex, positive identity to the characters she paints, sews, collages and animates. Until 12 March

This Way Out of England: Gallery House in Retrospect @ Raven Row
56 Artillery Ln, E1 7LS

Put simply, this show is a look back at pioneering Anglo-German art space Gallery House, curated by Antony Hudek and Alex Sainsbury. But this is a retrospective with a difference, as works on show by the original artists of the South Kensington avant-garde space – including Susan Hiller and John Latham – act as a re-framing of their original contributions to this early 70s institution. Featuring a rolling set of artworks and archival material. Until 26 March

Eduardo Paolozzi @ Whitechapel Gallery
77-82 Whitechapel High St, E1 7QX

Eduardo Paolozzi’s visual candy (a predecessor to pop-art) takes memories of the schlocky magazines, brightly-coloured sweet wrappers and bewildering machinery of his youth in Scotland, and lays them down in rainbows of paint, disparate collage and surreal sculpture. Perhaps his most recognisable works, at least to London commuters, are the mosaic patterned walls of Tottenham Court Road tube station. From 16 February – 14 May

Deimantas Narkevicius: 20 July 2015 @ Maureen Paley
21 Herald St, E2 6JT

If you’ve visited Lithuania’s capital Vilnius more recently than the titular 20 July 2015, you will have missed out on the subject of this new 3D stereoscopic film. The final of eight socialist realist sculptures (hitherto well-known landmarks) was removed on that date, and Lithuanian native Narkevicius documents this erasure in an immersive projection. 3D glasses: no longer just for blockbusters! From 4 February until 5 March
