La Plataforma presents the exhibition “Playhouse” by Ece Haskan at Art Nou

La Plataforma presents Playhouse, the new exhibition by artist Ece Haskan as part of the new edition of Art Nou 2026, the emerging art circuit featuring participating artists and spaces. The opening will take place on June 25 at 7:00 PM, marking the beginning of a project that invites viewers to reflect on the concepts of home, belonging, and identity. 

Art Nou is the emerging art festival of Barcelona and L’Hospitalet that promotes young national and international artistic creation, generating connections between artists, galleries, independent spaces, and cultural institutions. The 2026 edition once again focuses on emerging artistic production and on galleries as spaces for encounter, dialogue, and discovery. The program brings together more than fifty exhibitions and over one hundred and ten artists, alongside parallel activities such as guided tours, artist talks, performances, screenings, and interventions across different spaces in the city. 

On Saturday, June 27 at 12:00 PM, a guided tour of the exhibition with Ece Haskan will take place, during which the artist will share with the audience the concept behind Playhouse, her creative processes, and the ideas that shape the creation of her works. 

An opportunity to engage directly with the artist’s universe and discover the narrative layers that are part of the project. 

About the Exhibition 

In Playhouse, Ece Haskan transforms the idea of “home” into a symbolic space where identities are constructed, roles are performed, and memories are stored. The artist proposes understanding home not only as a physical space, but also as a place where we learn forms of relationships, behaviors, and ways of belonging. 

Through the concept of “playing house,” the exhibition shifts this childhood game into a reflection on family and social structures. The house becomes a stage where questions related to safety, belonging, transition, and  temporary living spaces emerge. 

The project also addresses the experience of migration and the feeling of being constantly in motion, exploring how the spaces we inhabit participate in the construction of our identity. Between the real and the imagined, the artist places the viewer within a play space where the limits of home can be questioned: where it begins, where it ends, and which elements turn it into a place of one’s own. 

About the Artist 

Based in Istanbul, Ece Haskan develops an artistic  practice rooted in painting, sculpture, and installation. Her work draws from the visual narrative language of  illustration, combining surreal elements, irony, and references to everyday life to explore the relationship between individual identity, the perception of reality, and collective memory.
