Museums News visited 'Beyond the Visual' at The Henry Moore Institute in Leeds, UK, a groundbreaking sculpture exhibition that invites you to experience art with all your senses. 👃🏼 Rather than prioritising sight, the show — co-curated with blind and partially sighted artists — includes tactile works you can touch, sound elements you can hear, and sensory pieces that engage smell and movement. 👂🏼 Highlights include Barry Flanagan’s 'Elephant' and a new immersive commission by David Johnson that uses braille-engraved plaster forms to rethink how sculpture is perceived. The exhibition boldly reshapes how we relate to art and breaks long-held gallery conventions. 🖐🏼 Where: The Henry Moore Institute, Leeds Entry: FREE Dates: 28 Nov 2025 – 19 Apr 2026 Info: henry-moore.org/whats-on/beyond-the-visual I I I #sensoryart #accessibleart #contemporarysculpture #henrymooreinstitute #museumsnews

A tense, theatrical performance by Vadim Gordeev unfolds as a meditation on fragility and control. 🎈 Standing before a mannequin crowned with a barbed-wire cage, Gordeev slowly inflates a red balloon trapped inside it. As the balloon swells, the room fills with suspense — vulnerability pressed against violence. 🎈 Known for blending illusion, symbolism and live action, Gordeev’s work sits between magic and performance art, using simple props to stage psychologically charged moments that linger long after the act ends.

Helena Minginowicz is a contemporary painter known for her inventive acrylic-on-paper-towel works, where fragile disposable surfaces become stages for surreal, layered imagery that blurs perception and emotion. 🧻 Her technique often begins with airbrush-like smooth tonal transitions and sharp contours that evoke digital aesthetics on unlikely substrates. 🧻 Minginowicz has exhibited widely across Europe in both solo and group shows, including 'Sticky Handshakes' (Art Walk, Warsaw) and 'Wounds and Wonders' at Galerie Prima in Paris. 🧻 She was also a finalist in the Bielska Jesień 2023 Painting Biennale. 🖌️ 🧻 🖌️ #exhibition #artnews #artgallery #contemporaryart #museumsnews

A child accidentally damaged a hand-crafted golden wedding crown at an exhibition held at the Beijing X Museum in Beijing, China. 👑 The elaborate piece — shaped like a gold phoenix wedding crown, weighing about 2 kg of pure gold and designed by the husband of influencer Zhang Kaiyi as a personal wedding gift — was on free public display alongside works by around 86 artists. 👑 Footage shared online shows the young boy leaning on the display case, which then tipped forward and sent the crown crashing to the floor, causing serious damage. 👑 The crown’s emotional value and the incident sparked wide online discussion about exhibition safety and responsibility. 👑 #BeijingXMuseum #GoldCrown #ExhibitionAccident #ArtDisplaySafety #CulturalDebate #museumsnews

'ADA' by artist Karina Smigla-Bobinski is an interactive installation featuring a giant helium-filled balloon studded with charcoal spikes. As it drifts through space, it leaves spontaneous, evolving drawings on pristine white walls. The work is a tribute to Ada Lovelace, whose vision of a machine capable of independent creation is echoed here: 'ADA behaves as an autonomous performer, producing marks that are incalculable and never repeatable. Smigla-Bobinski has presented 'ADA' internationally, including at Tate Modern (London), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), and Centre Pompidou (Paris), where the work’s fusion of movement, chance, and authorship has captivated audiences.
