Aleksandra Kasuba’s 'Shelters for Senses' Opens at Tate St Ives
Tate St Ives has opened 'Shelters for the Senses,' the first comprehensive UK museum exhibition dedicated to Lithuanian-American artist Aleksandra Kasuba (1923–2019). Curated by Tate Director Anne Barlow in collaboration with the Lithuanian National Museum of Art (LNMA), the showcase highlights Kasuba’s visionary work that merges art, science, and technology. The exhibition spans seven decades, featuring early paintings, mosaics, and reconstructed spatial environments like 'Live-In Environment,' which reflect her inspiration from natural forms and prehistoric monuments. This event marks a significant re-entry of Kasuba into global art discourse, emphasizing her prophetic approach to humanity's relationship with nature. Alongside the Tate presentation, Kasuba’s work is featured in Seoul’s Leeum Museum. A accompanying catalogue and a symposium at Tate Modern further contextualize her legacy. The exhibition runs until October 4, 2026, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore her innovative architectural designs and textile works that propose alternative modes of living connected to the environment.
