    Building on the legacy of László Moholy-Nagy and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, who carried Bauhaus principles to Chicago, SAIC and the Mies Society are organizing exhibitions and programs that probe the presence of the Modern today. Marking the Bauhaus at 90 years, it coincides with Burnham Plan at 100 and opening of the Art Institute’s Modern Wing.  This program will tell the Chicago chapter in the international story of modernism at a time of the modern’s reappraisal, looking at modernism’s continuing ideals of inter-disciplinary innovative creative work intended to make a better world, and the legacy of the modern as a way of teaching and learning in both the academy and public realm.
