Black-and-white films, Dada photomontages, formalist photographs, Constructivist paintings, abstract photograms. László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946) tried just about everything. Best known as a professor at the Bauhaus, the legendary German design school, and for founding Chicago’s School of Design (known today as the Institute of Design), the Hungarian artist was a seminal figure in the interwar experimental art movement. He had a special interest in technology and science, which presented itself most notably in his lauded 1930 sculpture Light-Space Modulator, an electrically-powered mechanical device that created an array of light displays. Highlighting works from over three decades and across multiple mediums, “Radiant Exposure” is an in-depth survey of the pioneering artist. —Paulina Prosnitz
