Across all three spaces of his chosen gallery, Mike Nelson (Fruitmarket, Edinburgh, Friday 27 June–Sunday 5 October) has created a new work which reflects upon the validity and purpose of photography in this digital era. The piece hinges on two sets of pictures, one taken in London, the other in Turkey, both raising questions of destruction and reconstruction.

Winner of the British Ceramic Biennial Prize, Mella Shaw (McManus Galleries, Dundee, until Sunday 18 January) delivers an immersive installation of sculptures made with whale bone ash in order to draw attention to how the overuse of marine sonar leads to the mass beaching of whales. More sculptural work, this time from Jamie Fitzpatrick (Outer Spaces, Glasgow, until Wednesday 4 June) as a disused commercial space in the shape of the former banking hall on St Vincent Place is utilised for art. The work will respond to this iconic Victorian structure’s symbolic relationship to power, stability and prosperity.
