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.

Icelandic performance artist Ragnar Kjartansson installed this foam-spewing machine outside of MoMA PS1, where he spent a week camping out as part of his contribution to EXPO 1.

A few of Kjartansson's Icelandic friends, pictured here in a soapy tub, joined him for the performance "Civilization: Monumental Materialism" last Friday night at PS1.
