Born in Lithuania, Aleksandra Kasuba emigrated to the United States in 1947, where she established her practice in New York. She initially gained recognition for her intricate mosaic work before transitioning toward experimental environmental design in the late 1960s.

Kasuba is best known for her signature tensile-fabric environments, which utilized stretched fabric to create fluid, immersive architectural spaces. These works challenged traditional notions of rigid construction, favoring organic, light-filled interiors that responded to the movement of the human body.

Her legacy continues to receive international institutional attention, including a major 2026 survey at Tate St Ives. This exhibition, organized in collaboration with the Lithuanian National Museum of Art, highlights seven decades of her multidisciplinary practice, spanning from early sculptures to her iconic spatial installations.
