Discover “Playhouse” at the next Afterwork & Art in La Plataforma

Next Thursday, July 23, starting at 6:00 p.m., La Plataforma gallery invites you to a new edition of Afterwork & Art.

Discover Playhouse, the exhibition by Ece Haskan, which is part of the 15th edition of Art Nou. Enjoy a beer while you tour the exhibition and share an afternoon of art in a relaxed post-work atmosphere.

Through paintings, drawings, and installations, Playhouse explores the home as a space of duality, where refuge and conflict coexist. Through intimate and surreal scenes, Ece Haskan reflects on memory, identity, and family bonds, questioning the roles constructed in the domestic sphere and how they continue to inhabit us even after leaving home.

Afterwork & Art is the perfect opportunity to discover the exhibition from another perspective, chat with the La Plataforma community, and enjoy art without rushing.

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.
