FILM SCREENING Every Man for Himself  April 1 | 7:30 and 9:30 pm April 2 | 5 and 7:30 pmAfter a decade of radical politics, video experimentation, and activist filmmaking, director Jean-Luc Godard made a triumphant return to international screens with this 1980 feature. Iconic chanteur Jacques Dutronc stars as a filmmaker estranged from his job, his ex-wife, and their prepubescent daughter. Frustrated in his relationship with television producer Nathalie Baye, he winds up with a call-girl whose other clients range from eccentric tycoons to crime bosses. Every Man for Himself is a poetic, comical, and incisive portrait of sex and work in the modern world. It's also one of cinema's greatest comebacks.

Confronted with an indifferent and hostile congregation, he's thrown into a crisis of faith that plays out on the pages of his private journal. As he commits himself to overcoming the villagers' apathy, he pursues an ascetic life sustained by a diet of bread, sweetened wine, and contemplation. The film's restraint intensifies the spiritual journey of a man approaching sainthood.

March has been a busy month for Agenda seeing our writers probe no less than five European gallery shows and two international art events: Quinn Latimer on Sofia Hultén at RaebervonStenglin, Zürich; Vivian Sky Rehberg on Joachim Koester at Jan Mot, Brussels; Octavio Zaya on Elmgreen & Dragset at Galería Helga de Alvear, Madrid, and in Berlin, Kirsty Bell on Cerith Wyn Evans's ambient neons at Galerie Neu, and Adam Kleinman on James Franco at Peres Projects within the context of the recent Guttenberg scandal. Covering the larger art events saw Pauline J. Yao reporting on the 2011 Singapore Biennial, and November Paynter on the 10th Sharjah Biennial, and Art Dubai in the UAE. These varied reviews—in tone and subject matter—at times found common ground in their subtle recognition of newsworthy events plaguing the headlines of late. Look forward to forthcoming texts by Anna Gritz on Ben Rivers at Matt's Gallery, London, Michelle Grabner on Claire Sherman at Kavi Gupta, Chicago, Merve Unsal on Anya Ostoya at Bortolami and Paddy Johnson on David Altmejd at Andrea Rosen, both in New York. Recent reviews: Sofia Hultén's "Pressure Drop" at RaebervonStenglin, Zürich Quinn Latimer explores the "Mars-meets-Minimalism" of Sofa Hultén's "slippery and slapstick works, which are always threatening to leak out." Read Sharjah Biennial 10: Plot for a Biennial and Art Dubai November Paynter jet sets between Dubai and Sharjah for a two pronged account of the UAE's major art events, Sharjah Biennial 10: Plot for a Biennial and Art Dubai. Read James Franco's "The Dangerous Book Four Boys" at Peres Projects, Berlin Certified copy or celebrity mash-up? Adam Kleinman reports on James Franco's "The Dangerous Book Four Boys" at Peres Projects, Berlin. Read 2011 Singapore Biennale Pauline J. Yao reports on one of her "more agreeable Asian biennial experiences" at the 2011 Singapore Biennial. Read Joachim Koester's "I myself am only a receiving apparatus" at Jan Mot, Brussels Vivian Sky Rehberg enters the spellbinding world of Joachim Koester's silent films and talking pictures at Jan Mot, Brussels. Read Cerith Wyn Evans's "Assemblage" at Galerie Neu, Berlin Kirsty Bell on Cerith Wyn Evans's latest at Galerie Neu: "the works […] appear like ephemeral thoughts suddenly clothed in three dimensions." Read Elmgreen & Dragset's "Amigos" at Galería Helga de Alvear, Madrid Mr B. is dead again! Octavio Zaya revisits his newly contextualized death in the sauna at Galería Helga de Alvear, Madrid—Elmgreen & Dragset's latest "powerless structure."

Artists' responses include a video featuring a repentant Milosevic, an eerily playful floor installation that will illustrate America's involvement in armed conflicts around the world, competing recruitment videos in the style of Civil War reenactments, and a series of plays that reinterpret Subcomandante Marcos' actions through the text of Japanese revolutionary Yukio Mishima. The exhibition will be accompanied by a reader with commissioned texts that also respond to the "artifacts" of war. Participating artists include Vahap Avsar, Hector Canonge, Joseph DeLappe, Patrick Dintino, Nick Fevelo, Yevgeniy Fiks, Gregory Green, Harvey Loves Harvey, Pablo Helguera, Yael Kanarek, Kristian Kozul, Julia Kul, Elizabeth Larison, Brian Leo, Paolo Pedercini, Public Studio, Ryan Roa, Christopher Robbins, Sayeh Sarfaraz, Aida Sehovic, and Matthew Sleeth.
