Photography exhibition “Esplanada” presents “Contemporary Quarteira”

It will be on display until October 29

The photography exhibition “Esplanada”, by Mike Ghost, will open this Saturday, August 27, at 18 pm, at the Praça do Mar Art Gallery, in Quarteira. 

The exhibition, which is curated by Miguel Cheta, is an essay on “Contemporary Quarteira” in which the quarteirense Mike Ghost invites you to discover a lifestyle that has been lived in the city since forever, that evolves over time, but does not lose its true essence.

«“Esplanade” takes us away from the photographer’s studio environment, transporting us immediately to an outdoor environment, an uncovered land, a place populated by tables, chairs, drinks and people by the beach, transports us to a summer environment , when the population of Quarteira doubles and on the esplanades we find the usual known and the usual unknown. At this time of year, in these common places, the city that knows how to welcome, expands its horizons», explains the Loulé City Council in a note.

Mike Ghost is a musician and photographer and receives influences that can be recognized in his work from artists of previous generations, such as Martin Parr or Jurgen Teller, photographers who worked mainly in portraiture.

The exhibition will be open to the public until the 29th of October, from Tuesday to Saturday, from 15:00 to 20:00 and from 21:00 to 23:00 (until the end of August) and from Tuesday to Saturday, from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00 (from the beginning of September).
