Francesca Woodman
Victoria Miro, 16 Wharf Road, Angel, N1 7RW

If you haven’t been to see Francesca Woodman’s exhibition yet, this week presents you with your last chance. Exploring but a snippet of the artists’ 800-strong archive, this retrospective encompasses 100 photographs that were taken between 1970 and the enigmatic artist’s death in 1981. Truly compelling, Woodman’s work often identified with the performative nature of photography, reflected in the blurred movement. Until 22 Jan.

The Great Masturbator on Holiday
Gooden Gallery, 25A Vyner St, Cambridge Heath, E2 9DG

Neil Drabble explores his work through installation, sculpture, photography, performance and text. Dark and sinister, much of his surreal work draws obvious comparisons to Salvador Dali, from the title of the exhibition to the slightly disturbed imagery. Until 23 Jan.
