When German artist Gunther Forg was in Chicago two years ago to exhibit an installation of photographs at the University of Chicago’s Renaissance Society, he became enchanted by a small courtyard off the university’s divinity school. It was secluded, dark, and covered with ivy. When he got back to his native country, Forg began working on an installation inspired by the little courtyard. Today Forg’s exhibit, The Stations of the Cross–14 abstract bronze-relief pieces representing Christ’s condemnation to death, crucifixion, and entombment, along with 56 preliminary drawings–opens at the Renaissance Society, 5811 S. Ellis, fourth floor. Tonight’s opening runs from 5 to 7 PM. The exhibit runs through August 31; gallery hours are 10 to 4 Monday through Friday. It’s free. Call 702-8670.
