The Lithuanian-born US artist Aleksandra Kasuba (born Fled\u017einskait\u0117, 1923\u20132019) was a visionary of the 20th century space exploration era. A retrospective of her work is constructed as a bright, inspiring narrative about losses and possibilities as well as futures that emerge in the face of\u00a0 turbulent times.It is the story of how Kasuba who was forced to flee her home country after World War II and emigrated to the USA. She\u00a0 settled in New York and became an artist creating visionary spatial environments made of tensile fabrics; a story about an imaginary future without right angles as a habitat for the wandering soul.It presents the works and an archive of documents donated by the artist to the Lithuanian National Museum of Art in 2014\u20132019. The originals of these documents are kept at the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, D.C. The exhibition is complemented by contributions of the artist\u2019s friends \u2013 a perfumer Danut\u0117 Pajaujis Anonis, actress and cinematographer Pola Chapelle, Fluxus artist George Maciunas and avant-garde film maker Jonas Mekas.<\/p>\n

About Carr\u00e9 d\u2019Art<\/h6>\n

Inaugurated in 1993, the opening of Carr\u00e9 d\u2019Art-Mus\u00e9e d\u2019art contemporain de N\u00eemes is a successful example of the opening up to contemporary art and the policy of decentralisation undertaken in France from the 1980s onwards. Situated between the CAPC in Bordeaux and the Abattoirs in Toulouse to the west, and the MAC in Marseille and the MAMAC in Nice to the east, the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Art Contemporain de N\u00eemes is a link in a chain that has been completed over the years with a view to promoting and disseminating contemporary art in the Mediterranean region.Like its Parisian model, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Carr\u00e9 d\u2019Art houses the media libraryand the museum of contemporary art, offering N\u00eemes residents and visitors from abroad a new place to live. It was in 1983 that Jean Bousquet, newly elected Mayor of N\u00eemes, confirmed his plans to raise the city\u2019s cultural profile around the major project of creating this new institution.Begun in 1986, with considerable help from the Direction des Mus\u00e9es de France, the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art now comprises almost 600 works.<\/p>\n
