ArtReview's editors have published their ten exhibitions to see in November, a list that stretches from Lagos to Doha and takes in biennials, retrospectives and a remarkable story of lost and found paintings.

In Lagos, the biennial opens on 14 November under the title The Museum of Things Unseen, asking what a museum built from scratch, free of structural inequality, might look like. Eighteen artists and collectives take part, including Aki Sasamoto, Hito Steyerl and Kara Walker, and the edition also launches a permanent pavilion to house the Akete Collection. In London, the Hayward Gallery presents Nan Goldin's first major institutional show in the city in more than twenty years, opening on 24 November with new films alongside Memory Lost, her unsparing account of addiction.

Doha hosts the inaugural Rubaiya Qatar quadrennial from 21 November, its headline exhibition Unruly Waters taking water as its theme, with more than thirty new commissions from artists including Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Sophia Al-Maria and Yuko Mohri. In Tokyo, an exhibition pairing each article of Japan's constitution with a contemporary artwork opens as the country's leadership pushes to revise the document, including its war-renouncing Article 9.

Two of the most striking entries concern artists returning to view after long absences. In New York, Management gallery shows Beatriz Zamora's The Lost Works, a group of black paintings that vanished when the artist's studio assistant disappeared with them in 1988 and were only recovered from a Brooklyn townhouse after the assistant's death. And in Melbourne, the National Gallery of Victoria presents Atong Atem's Passage, the most comprehensive survey yet of the South Sudanese-born artist's studio portraiture, with more than 65 works. The list is rounded out by the Whitney Museum's history of internet art, the inaugural Bienal de Yucatan in Merida, and Sophie Calle's first Berlin solo show in over twenty years at Hamburger Bahnhof.
