ALEKSANDRA KASUBA
1923-2019, LithuaniaThe work of Lithuanian-born artist and architect Aleksandra Kasuba (1923–2019) merges architecture, sculpture, and craft, rotating around a central concern with space. Developed over several decades in Kasuba’s adopted home of New York City, and culminating in a last major endeavour in New Mexico, much of this artistic output was recently highlighted in a retrospective exhibition curated by Lithuanian art historian Elona Lubytė at the National Gallery of Art in Vilnius.
Kasuba’s artistic and archival legacy, which consists of monumental decorative works for public spaces, fabric environments, and models, drawings, and collages of never-realized projects for dwellings, reveals a persistent artistic vision. The conviction at the core of Kasuba’s space-making endeavors—that there is a fundamental correlation between the subject’s formation and the built environment—opens up multiple avenues worth revisiting.
