Tate St Ives will present the first UK museum exhibition of Aleksandra Kasuba, a Lithuanian American artist (1923–2019), from May 2 to October 4, 2026. The show spans seven decades of her career, featuring early paintings, mosaics, sculptures, and public artworks, including the spatial environment *Spectrum: An Afterthought* and a recreation of her *Live-In Environment*. Works are drawn from the Lithuanian National Museum of Art's collection, where Kasuba donated her pieces.
This exhibition matters because it introduces a pioneering but underrecognized artist to a UK audience, highlighting her innovative spatial environments and her collaboration with the Experiments in Art and Technology (EAT) group. Kasuba’s work—rooted in nature and human connection—also reflects a dramatic personal history of displacement during WWII, adding depth to her legacy as an artist who merged art, architecture, and social engagement.
