This week, Artspace stopped by a rambunctious, foam-filled performance by Ragnar Kjartansson and his band of Icelanders at MoMA PS1, plus saw work by Jay Batlle, Paul McCarthy, Nick Van Woert, and more at the Bleecker Street Arts Club's new group sculpture show "Dead Inside," as well as a few "Works Off Canvas" at new Lower East Side spot Denny Gallery. See pictures in the slideshow above.
