Tate St Ives to host first UK survey of Lithuanian American artist Aleksandra Kasuba

This summer, Tate St Ives will host the inaugural UK museum exhibition dedicated to Lithuanian American artist Aleksandra Kasuba (1923-2019). The showcase will cover her artistic journey over seven decades, featuring her early works in painting and mosaics, as well as her later sculptures, public installations, and environmental designs. Inspired by natural elements such as shells, rocks, flora, and marine organisms, Kasuba sought to foster a reconnection between people and the natural world. In the late 1960s, she worked alongside the Experiments in Art and Technology (EAT) group, which comprised artists, engineers, and scientists. After fleeing Lithuania in 1944 amid Soviet and Nazi invasions, she spent time in a German displaced persons camp before moving to the US in 1947.
