This winter at stanley
Twenty Summers is proud to present Fragments in Time, a powerful two-person exhibition of work by renowned photojournalists Ashley Gilbertson and Franco Pagetti, opening this fall at Stanley. The exhibition is presented courtesy of Monroe Gallery of Photography.
First shown at Mad Rose Gallery in Millerton, NY, Fragments in Time brings together two distinct photographic voices in a tightly woven visual conversation that ranges in subject matter from the fashion world to the war torn lands, from refugee camps to New York during the pandemic. Though their assignments in conflict zones have taken them to different places—Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and beyond—Gilbertson’s and Pagetti’s work in this sphere overlaps in theme and sensibility, showing a deep concern for both soldiers’ and civilians’ experience of war, the emotional residue of violence, and the personal, often ambiguous role of the photographer as witness. War is not an event but a state that persists in bodies, landscapes, and memory.
At Stanley, these and other images—intimate, unflinching, and formally rigorous—are installed in close proximity, allowing the viewer to move between scenes of devastation, reflection, solitude, and survival.

“We see this opportunity in this present time to think through:
what kind of community do we want to create?”

100 Years of Light
In 1907, Charles Webster Hawthorne, the son of a sea captain, built a barn-like studio on a sandy bluff in Provincetown on the tip of Cape Cod. Hawthorne, an Impressionist painter, turned the barn into the Cape Cod School of Art.
Artist Residencies
Each season, a cohort of diverse creatives are invited to join us in Provincetown at the Hawthorne Barn, to explore, to incubate original work and to "imagine a more equitable and sustainable future, Twenty Summers from today."
We’re in the news
Several publications and news outlets have featured stories about Twenty Summers and the Barn, which NPR has called "part of the foundation of American art history." Learn more about our organization and what others have had to say about it.
