There are a few terrific gallery shows in Chelsea NYC right now that I'd really suggest seeing. The first is Wayne White who I've mentioned before who has a great show at Joshua Liner Gallery featuring 15 foot moving puppets of country musicians The Louvin Brothers made out of cardboard among other things. He's always interesting, proof is in the trailer for the documentary about his life, Beauty is Embarrassing below!
Street artist DALeast is famous for his unique line quality and he currently has a gallery show at Jonathan LeVine Gallery on 23rd Street that I'd recommend seeing before it closes tomorrow.

There is also a great show of Brooklyn artist José Parlá's work at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery. Parlá uses writing in a totally unique way and has teamed up with photographer JR who we've talked about in class. Check out the video below of how he works, pretty amazing!
While your there I'd suggest checking out the High Line walkway which is a great way to get around that area of town and features plenty of great art itself. There is now a new section that just opened north of the galleries so it should be a great view over the river to New Jersey.
