"The Cybernetics of the Poor: tutorials, scores and exercises" exhibition is the idea that the face of contemporary political economics may aptly be described as a total cybernetics. Cybernetics (derived from the Greek kybern锚tik锚 鈥榯he art of governing鈥�), was originally a technology of control and soon also a model of governance. Today it is a science that recasts planning and anticipation by operating with the calculability of reactions to measures and its techniques now shape both the economy and the meta-economy of the financial markets.

The title of this exhibition alludes to a bon mot from Oswald Wiener (Austria, 1935). At a certain moment, the artist characterised the culture of pop music as a dandyism of the poor, in a clear reference to Hugo Ball鈥檚 Flametti or The Dandyism of the Poor.

This exhibition project arises within the context of the biannual programme carried out at Tabakalera called Ariketak: la segunda respiraci贸n. Throughout this programme and under the framework described above, the initial core of four artists formed by Agency (Kobe Matthys), Jon Mikel Euba, Lili Reynaud-Dewar and Camila Sposati started to develop the new productions that are now present in the exhibition. Likewise, the exhibition includes works from private collections, galleries and museums such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sof铆a or the Mus茅e d'art contemporain de Lyon, and those by local and international artists who offer an example of how the cybernetics of the poor can be understood.
