Aleksandra Kasuba (1923-2019) was a pioneering artist whose work spanned various mediums, from fabric installations to sculpture, photography, landscape design, and architecture. Her artistry explored the intersection of technology and nature, delving into the relationships between humans and their environment, particularly in terms of shelter and place.

The recent exhibition “Imagining the Future” at Carré d’Art—Musée d’Art Contemporain in Nîmes, France, marked the first major showcase of Kasuba’s work in Europe. The exhibition highlighted the vast range of her artistic expression, showcasing her innovative use of materials, light, color, and tension to create immersive sensory experiences.

Born into an aristocratic family, Kasuba’s artistic journey began in art school in 1941, where she focused on sculpture and textiles. Fleeing Lithuania during the Nazi occupation, she eventually settled in New York in 1947 with her husband, artist Vytautas Kašuba. The experience of displacement and immigration deeply influenced her artistic vision, blending applied arts with abstraction in the 1950s and 1960s.

Inspired by modernism and the space exploration era, Kasuba’s work also drew from the principles of vernacular architecture. A visit to Bernard Rudofsky’s exhibition “Architecture Without Architects” at the Museum of Modern Art in 1964 further fueled her interest in the ingenuity and cultural richness of indigenous architectural styles.

Kasuba’s artistic practice extended beyond traditional mediums, manifesting in her living spaces like her New York City home in the 1970s and the sculptural dwelling “Rock Hill House” in the New Mexico desert. She seamlessly integrated sculpture and environmental design, creating unique material combinations for large-scale public installations and spatial interventions.

Exploring the interplay of transparency, color, and light, Kasuba’s works like “Spectrum” and the “Space Shelters” series embodied her vision of harmonizing nature, humanity, and technology. Her public wall installations, crafted from materials like brick, marble, and granite, showcased her dedication to creating immersive spatial experiences that engaged viewers on multiple sensory levels.

“Imagining the Future” exhibition in Nîmes, France, offered a glimpse into Kasuba’s multifaceted artistic legacy, inviting viewers to explore her innovative approach to art and design. Through her groundbreaking work, Kasuba continues to inspire audiences to reimagine their relationship with the world around them and the possibilities of merging art with everyday life.
