As part installation, part documentary intervention, Arias’s Mucamas reflects trends in contemporary art and performance to reassess the meaning of site-specific; to move toward co-authorship and social collaboration among artist, participants, and spectators; and to employ ethnographic and auto/biographical methods. This article considers the contradiction inherent in this movement to diffuse authorship, on the one hand, and to emphasize the role of the auto/biographical, on the other. The tension that results from this contradiction is productive in redefining the significance and form of the auto/biographical in contemporary art. Furthermore, in focusing on the everyday work routines of housekeepers, Arias’s piece reveals an economy based on the consumption of experience, instead of objects, that highlights the complex interaction of work, city, bodies, and auto/biography. Este artículo examina Mucamas, una intervención de Lola Arias que forma parte de Ciudades paralelas, un proyecto diseñado por Arias y Stefan Kaegi. Parte instalación, parte intervención documental, Mucamas refleja ciertas tendencias del arte y la performance contemporáneos que reexaminan el sentido de lo site-specific, se desplazan hacia la co-autoría y colaboración social entre artistas, participantes y espectadores, y emplean métodos etnográficos y auto/biográficos. Este movimiento, por un lado, intenta difuminar la autoría y, por el otro, enfatiza el rol de lo auto/biográfico. La tensión que resulta de esta contradicción es productiva para redefinir la importancia y la forma de lo auto/biográfico en el arte contemporáneo. Más aún, al centrarse en la rutina diaria de las mucamas, la obra de Arias revela una economía que se basa en el consumo de la experiencia en lugar del consumo de objetos y que pone en evidencia la compleja interacción entre trabajo, ciudad, cuerpos y auto/biografía.
