INTOHAUS — A NEW CHAPTER

Into.Gallery expands its practice with the launch of IntoHaus, a creative and cultural agency working across curatorial thinking, design, production and strategy.
Conceived as a space where art meets cultural articulation, IntoHaus develops projects that move between exhibitions, visual narratives and collaborative formats, connecting artists, institutions and brands through a shared contemporary language.
Operating between Europe and Brazil, the agency approaches each project as a process rather than a fixed structure, shaped by research, dialogue and context. Curatorial direction, artistic development, design and cultural strategy converge to create experiences that unfold across disciplines.
At its core, IntoHaus understands art as a living field: a place where ideas are tested, translated, and transformed through encounter.

For millennia, the Mediterranean has been a crossroads of civilisations, a highway where knowledge, culture, and wisdom have flowed in exchange. In his installation-sculpture "CONTINENTS," artist Xavier Masero turns our attention to the objects that witnessed and facilitated this cultural explosion: the amphora.

These are not mere vessels or containers, as Masero reminds us. They became "continents of wisdom" – repositories that nourished a world with their cargo of ideas, traditions, and human connection.

Vision Meets Memory

Masero's reinterpretation of these forms elevates them to their rightful status as elements of Mediterranean civilisation. In this installation, the vessels no longer need to contain anything external – they have become content unto themselves, the very essence of our Mediterranean heritage.

Transformed into mirrors reflecting the waters they once crossed, these CONTINENTS rise as a wall of wisdom, proclaiming that their journey is our history, and their story is our legacy.

Craftsmanship

The installation comprises 60 individual structures, each crafted from 25×25mm iron profiles with 3mm thickness, welded by professionals without anti-rust treatment – thus allowing the patina of time to become part of the artwork's narrative.

Each structure (45×45×70 cm) connects to its neighbours through metric screws with self-locking mechanisms, creating a unified whole that can be configured in various arrangements (3×20, 4×15, 2×30) depending upon the exhibition space. The ceramic vessels are suspended by polypropylene ropes, with each complete unit weighing between 16 and 25 kilograms.

A Wall of Wisdom

This modular approach reflects the very nature of Mediterranean culture itself – individual elements that gain strength and meaning through connection, creating something far greater than the sum of their parts. The installation has already graced prestigious venues, including the MMB, Escola Massana, the Roman Baths of Sant Boi, and the Terracotta Museum.

Gustavo Amaral
The Veil
Series The Veil
60 x 42 cm
Collage and acrylic on paper

Merging surrealism, geometry, and symbolism, Gustavo Amaral explores the tension between identity and perception. Faceless figures, cloaked in monochromatic veils and crowned with dreamlike architectural forms, inhabit vibrant landscapes filled with quiet intensity.

In The Veil, the artist deepens his inquiry into the body, the psyche, and the notion of habitation—both physical and emotional. The work invites reflection on the ways we conceal and reveal ourselves in the world.

Into.Gallery presents the artist Poe de Laf, whose practice moves between painting and reflection on the body, exile, and identity. Her work explores the relationship between presence and absence, engaging with forms and figures that test the boundaries between the visible and the hidden.

Poe de Laf was born in Marseille. Since childhood, the artist has been in contact with artistic practices, and at 16, began experimenting with oil painting. Poe de Laf pursued a Modern and Contemporary Art doctorate and moved to Barcelona, where she continued her artistic production. She lives and works between Barcelona and Paris.

The artist’s research focuses on the relationship between identity, exile, materiality, and corporeality. Poe de Laf creates anthropomorphic figures concealed by clothing, investigating how the body occupies space and challenges the boundaries between interior and exterior. She defines her style as “part of the pistil that holds the stigma, just after the ovaries, in the floral axis.”

For over three decades, Brazilian photographer Renato Soares has dedicated his work to the lives and traditions of Indigenous communities, building a significant visual archive of Brazil’s ancestral heritage. His images highlight the pivotal role of Indigenous women in sustaining cultural memory through language, rituals, and spiritual practices.

His photographs do more than document—they honor. Each image affirms their enduring presence and reinforces the urgency of protecting Indigenous knowledge, stories, and ways of life.

Throughout the streets of Accra, Ghana, women walk with baskets on their heads, selling goods that meet daily needs. These are the zungueiras — women at the heart of the informal economy, providing for their families and keeping local commerce in motion.

The word "zungueira" refers to women who support their households by selling goods like vegetables, grains, and fabrics in the streets. Often seen through the lens of poverty, they build and sustain strong trade networks that support entire communities. As self-taught entrepreneurs, zungueiras run their businesses through lived experience. Without formal education or institutional support, they rely on practical knowledge passed down through generations.

In his series "A Head of Time", photographer Christian Gaul turns his attention to these women. Drawing on the same visual language he uses in fashion, Gaul photographs them carrying goods through the city, capturing the pulse of a moving economy. By focusing on the zungueiras, Gaul documents a practice rooted in the colonial-era quitandeiro (street vendor) while highlighting their continued role in shaping local economies and cultural life.

In a world marked by displacement and transformation, the project "¡Tengo Ganas De Verte!" emerges as a poetic investigation into the connections between migration, memory, and identity. Conceived by Lluís Estopiñan and Nataly Prada, the work begins with a symbolic gesture: the transatlantic journey of anonymous photographs, rescued from street markets in Bogotá and transported to Barcelona.

These images, once part of family albums but now devoid of their original stories, acquire new meanings as they are reinterpreted by the artists. The selection process is based on subjective criteria, exploring the profound transformation that migration imprints on human experience. More than mere records of the past, these photographs become vehicles for reflection on time, identity, and the emotional bonds that persist despite distance.

The title "¡Tengo Ganas De Verte!" ("I Want to See You!") directly references a recurring phrase in the letters, carrying a dual meaning. It expresses both the yearning for reunion and the frustration of separation, symbolizing impulses and emotions heightened by distance. At the same time, it suggests the desire to see beyond the image, to feel what cannot be visually represented.

Torsten Solin uses manipulated images to explore social and gender norms, transforming both found and personal photographic material into new meanings. His series DAS ALBUM addresses themes of identity, uniformity, and even genetic engineering, reflecting on the role of photography in shaping reality. With a light, ironic tone, the artist revisits the cultural history of photography, questioning not just the events captured, but the very representation of reality itself.

Solin will participate in the group exhibition DURCH DIE SCHICHTEN, where he will present his photographic series Das Album. This is an opportunity to experience the series in person.
The opening will be held on 21 March 2025, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The exhibition will be open to the public on 22 and 23 March, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

The self-portrait, often infused with fiction and projection, has gradually been replaced by artistic forms of self-exploration. By incorporating artistic practice and appropriating old photographs, the self can be found in the doppelganger or in fragmentation; the doppelganger motif in particular questions existing social structures and ideas of similarity and difference.

Torsten Solin uses manipulated images to explore and scrutinise socially normative and gender-specific affiliations. In doing so, he reopens a complex (photo) album and makes it legible in a variety of ways. ‘I can be many’, from the physical and psychological preoccupation with one's own identity to uniformity, genetic engineering and artificially created living beings. The underlying found and personal photographic material is given a new function and at the same time allows different interpretations.

Questions of identity and self-dramatisation are recurring motifs in Solin's primarily photographic works. With a rather comical and less sinister visual language, his ALBUM also refers to the cultural-historical change of meaning in the history of photography and its reception.Torsten Solin simultaneously questions not only captured events, but also the representation of reality.

Paola Idrontino
Creation, 2016
This work combines sewing, embroidery and hand-stitching with photography.

Paola Idrontino approaches the female experience as a creative force, extending beyond biological motherhood to encompass all forms of creation. The figure of the baby carries symbolic weight, representing the multiplicity of children a woman can bring into being, both in concrete and abstract forms. The emptiness of the cosmos reveals a wealth of possibilities, hidden at first glance but always ready to be filled.

EVANESCENT
2016-2018
Sewing, embroidery and hand sewing.

Evanescent is a textile sculpture that portrays coral bleaching caused by climate change. This project took two years to complete. It is entirely handmade using a variety of fabric, most of which is recycled.

“When I experienced diving for the first time I became enchanted with what I saw. There is so much beauty hiding beneath the waves and with this project I wish to bring some of that beauty back out of the ocean. As an individual, I can take action to change the fate of our world’s oceans. As an artist I feel responsible to present the story of our oceans in ways that engage a global audience and create awareness that leads to the necessary action.”
