EXHIBITS + GALLERIES
at the FAR Center for Contemporary Arts
Established in 2008, Pictura Gallery is a non-profit
institution that celebrates photography in its many iterations. We present work that represents the state of the medium
today. We are dedicated to showing the art form as it
evolves, especially in dialogue with other artistic mediums.
Our mission is to share the best contemporary fine art photography with our community in the Midwest, while contributing to the international dialogue about what is
relevant and important in the present day world of
photography. We are also devoted to collaborating with
artists to help them build strong careers and maintain
artistic excellence.
Pictura is housed in the FAR Center for the Contemporary
Arts. We are committed to an annual calendar of exhibits –
all free to the public – as well as educational programming through lectures and workshops. We work with the guiding belief that photography is a powerful tool, one that sparks questions and conversations and richly engages community.

Pictura Gallery with Cicada Cinema presents a free screening of the the Orson Welles film, F for Fake to accompany our current exhibit, Magic Show, by Carol Golemboski.

Trickery. Deceit. Magic. In F for Fake, a free-wheeling, spirited documentary by Orson Welles, the legendary filmmaker (and self-described charlatan) gleefully reengages with the central preoccupation of his career: the tenuous lines between illusion and truth, art and lies. Beginning with portraits of the world- renowned art forger Elmyr de Hory and his equally devious biographer, Clifford Irving, Welles embarks on a dizzying journey that simultaneously exposes and revels in fakery and fakers of all stripes—not the least of whom is Welles himself. Charming and inventive, F for Fake is an inspired prank and a clever examination of the essential duplicity of cinema.
On display at Pictura Gallery this summer is a collection of magic-themed darkroom prints by photographer, Carol Golemboski. She conjures the golden age of magic, with visual tricks and illusions folded into the mystique of the analog printing process.
*Masks are strongly encouraged during the opening and the film screening. Seating is distanced and therefore, limited.
