This event will explore new views on the work and creative legacy of Aleksandra Kasuba. The artist’s work will be on show at Tate St Ives from 2 May—4 October 2026.
Aleksandra Kasuba: Shelters for the Senses is the first UK museum exhibition of the artist’s work. It is presented in collaboration with the Lithuanian National Museum of Art, Vilnius. The exhibition spans seven decades of Kasuba’s practice, from her early paintings and mosaics to public commissions, sculptures and immersive environments.
Kasuba fled Lithuania in 1947 after the second Soviet occupation. She first settled in New York, before moving to New Mexico where she designed and built her own home. Kasuba worked across the fields of art, architecture, design and technology. She was inspired by the idea of a world without right angles, and the desire to create deeper connections between humans, nature and technology.
Join us for presentations from artists, architects and thinkers, whose own practices inform fresh perspectives on Kasuba's artworks, public projects, and proposals for more harmonious living.
