"If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough." Robert Capa

Close Enough explores the practices of thirteen emerging and established women photographers and the relationality they create within global situations, local communities, and interactions with individual subjects. Each contributing photographer openly narrates their creative journey, ranging from reflections upon long-term personal projects to work in progress and new pivots in their image-making practices. They give highly personal accounts of their visual vantage points and create a constellation of photographic relativity in this exhibition.

A small ferry boat is the only connection to the village of Old Believers.
The Old Believers turned against thereforms of the Patriarch Nikon, who reformed from
1652 texts and rites of Russian Orthodox worship. Therefore, many fled to the most
remote areas of Russia. First from the Tsar, later from the Soviets.

Set in the context of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Magnum agency (1947), Close Enough focuses on women photographers whose distinct visions are currently shaping photographic perspectives within Magnum.

Together, they move and challenge the photography collective’s boundaries, deepening Magnum’s anchoring of the photographic quest to take account of human experience and survival. In uniquely personal ways, the contributing photographers negotiate gaining access, holding their bearings, and moving deeper in relation to human subjects and experiences—the challenge to photographers to get "close enough" called forth by the cofounder of Magnum, Robert Capa.

With determination, urgency, and resourcefulness, each photographer takes account of their practice, inviting us to get close enough.
