“The Learning Modern exhibition turned SAIC’s Sullivan Galleries into a laboratory for exploration, with projects by artists, architects, and designers who continued the modern vision and the legacy of László Moholy-Nagy and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Moholy-Nagy and Mies carried Bauhaus principles from Germany to Chicago in the late 1930s, furthering the role of experiential education, and—working with students—sought to change our perception of the world, while changing the world itself. Areas of the exhibition also changed throughout the duration of the show, as it invited further investigations and subsequently presented responses from students and visitors.”
