Wu Chi-Tsung: Dust, Site Gallery, Sheffield
This exhibition, which includes two immersive installations, picks up on ideas and techniques originally tested by Taiwanese artist Wu Chi-Tsung during her residency at Site Gallery in 2006. Dust captures the shadows of minute, usually invisible, dust particles as they spiral around the audience to make a mesmerising abstract projection, while Crystal City 003 invites the audience to witness a shifting cityscape. The exhibition is part of Yorkshire Festival 2014.
Until 31 May www.sitegallery.org/

Ian Kiaer: Tooth House, Henry Moore Institute, Leeds
Ian Kiaer repurposes debris to create props and proposals for perceiving objects in space, asking questions of value and form. Featuring a selection of Kiaer’s works made between 2005 and 2014, the show explores the model as a structure that enables thought to be materialised and tested.
Until 22 June www.henry-moore.org/
Sarah Jones, Maureen Paley, London
Sarah Jones’ photographs explore how subjects are measured and transcribed through the large format view camera and flattened in pictorial space. Her use of analogue techniques draws attention to materiality, bringing to mind the act of mark making in drawing. The work explores the correspondence between the skein of the film, the surface of the photographic print and the surface of her subjects.
Until 19 April www.maureenpaley.com/
