 <\/p>\n

Estonia\u2019s globally renowned Kumu Art Museum is proud to present its latest exhibition, \u201cTriumph of Galatea: Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence\u201d. The exhibition considers what it means for human creativity when machines are increasingly shaping cultural production, and even perception. Having opened last Friday, 13 February, this new exhibition will run until 9 August of this year as part of Kumu\u2019s 20th anniversary season.<\/p>\n

The title is inspired by the Pygmalion and Galatea<\/i> myth, in which an artist\u2019s creation comes to life, and serves as a metaphor for the evolving relationship between artists and intelligent systems that generate images, texts, and cultural forms. Curated by Anders H\u00e4rm<\/b>, \u201cTriumph of Galatea\u201d brings together works by an international group of contemporary artists and thinkers who engage with emerging technologies in diverse and provocative ways. The exhibition features painting, video, installation, and sculptural works that investigate how artificial intelligence influences memory, vision, identity, and labour in the digital era.<\/p>\n

The programme also includes a range of public events and activities designed to deepen engagement with the themes of the exhibition. A drop-in \u201cArt Walk\u201d series offers guided tours on the last Sunday of every month, providing visitors with insights into key works and ideas. Kumu has consistently displayed art that reflects and questions contemporary cultural shifts, and \u201cTriumph of Galatea\u201d positions the museum at the front of conversations about how creative expression is being transformed in the 21st century.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is open every day except Monday, with extended hours on Thursdays. Tickets are available at the entrance, or here<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
