Will This Time Be Different, the first project undertaken in Argentina by the North American artist Martha Rosler, purports to create a library about art and feminism in Spanish. Working together with the Interdisciplinary Gender Studies network and the Interdisciplinary Gender Studies and Policies Center at the UNTREF, and thanks to the donation, purchase or loan of books, the project aims to assemble and catalogue some two thousand works dealing with the intense discussion about feminism that has been unfolding in recent years in Buenos Aires.
Devised as a home library, easy to access and with no need for intermediaries to manage queries or requests, the study space also acts as a repository for a range of historical pieces created by Rosler, a succinct anthology of the work she has been producing since the 1960s and which has formed her intense and insistent public voice and narrative. She engages with subjects of an urgently topical nature, such as the warfaring tendencies of North America and its consequences, the way woman are represented in the media, urban processes such as gentrification, and the role played by artists and the intellectual elite within these. After the close of the exhibition, the library will be donated to the University and will also be open to the public.
