Three to see: New York

Get evicted with Martha Rosler before your around-the-world trip with Sigmar Polke<br> <br>

Shapeshifters, a group show of shaped canvases that blur the line between painting and sculpture, opened Monday (until 12 August) at Luhring Augustine. The show, which includes 19 artists such as Elizabeth Murray, Joe Bradley and Richard Tuttle, also features historic work by Frank Stella, who was included in the 1964 Guggenheim Museum exhibition The Shaped Canvas, which was organised by Lawrence Alloway.

At David Zwirner, Sigmar Polke: Eine Winterreise (until 22 July) includes travel-related works by the German artist that range from light-hearted paintings of palms trees to abstract landscapes referring to hallucinatory journeys of the mind. The exhibition largely focuses on works that were inspired by an around-the-world trip that Polke embarked on in the early 1980s, when he subsequently began to use unconventional and sometimes toxic materials to render colours he had observed across various cultures.

It is also almost your last chance to see Martha Rosler: If you can’t afford to live here, mo-o-ove!! at Mitchell-Innes & Nash, which closes next weekend (until 9 July). Organised by the art group The Temporary Office of Urban Disturbances, the show quotes the former New York mayor Ed Koch in its title and expands on a project that the American artist Martha Rosler initiated in 1989 titled If You Lived Here… that dealt with gentrification, homelessness and urbanism.
