Against the already politically charged atmosphere of the 2026 Biennale, this experience became an uncomfortable reminder that certain forms of cultural nationalism remain deeply ingrained beneath the surface.

We found the Duchamp exhibition to be one of the most remarkable hidden discoveries of the Biennale: an extraordinary collection of archival documents, artefacts, correspondence, and genuine intellectual substance. Eager to engage more deeply with the material, we arranged a tour in English.

The tour began in perfectly fluent English. Yet the moment several German-speaking visitors joined, the curator switched entirely into German — despite those visitors themselves suggesting that the discussion continue in English so everyone present could follow equally.

When we politely asked whether he might continue in English, his response was: “No. All you need to know is that Duchamp invented the readymade.”

In an exhibition devoted to complexity, interpretation, and historical nuance, the remark felt astonishingly reductive. More striking still was the ease with which part of the audience was simply excluded from the conversation altogether.

The videos below show the beginning of the tour, before the language abruptly changed. What remains most disturbing is not the German language itself, but the mentality behind the decision: the normalization of exclusion in a supposedly international cultural space.

We are in Italy, at one of the world’s most international art events, where English functions as the common language of exchange. Why the conversation had to be deliberately narrowed into German remains difficult to understand.

The exhibition bears the title This Exhibition Is Not for You. Regrettably, the curator appeared determined to make that literal.

Design Week has ended, but its afterimage remains: overwhelming and overcrowded )

What cut through the noise were the quieter narratives craft thanks to craftsmanship, the idea of home as something to sustain rather than stage. Prada Frames stood out for its intellectual speakers.

Elsewhere, the visual language was undeniably refined, yet often excessive and spectacular.

The Osvaldo Borsani apartment remained one of the few spaces with clarity: composed, modern, and quietly authoritative.

It’s a wrap !
This year’s MEGA art fair in Milan was more than an art event, it turned into a shared space. 10 days unfolding through conversations, new encounters, familiar faces returning, new ones dialogues emerging.

For LÉ Projects, these two weeks in Milan were about connection in its most genuine form. We offered a space where artists, works, and people met without distance. Openly, warmly, intuitively.

There was a sense of togetherness and humanity that lingered in every exchange.

We leave with gratitude for the energy, the presence, and the moments that can’t be documented, only felt. Until next year and a big thank you to the art fair team, our artists and the LÉ Projects team that make it all possible and special! .aleks

Day 3 with LÉ Projects at MEGA Art Fair 2026, and the energy keeps unfolding.

Set inside an ex-industrial space in Milan, MEGA moves beyond the traditional fair format, becoming a fluid, collective environment where works, practices and dialogues continuously intersect.

LÉ Projects is here, presenting Lara Feldman , Larisa Pitkevich , Athena Kontonikolaki and a selection of limited edition jewellery by 20th century artists: Arman, Pol Bury, Giorgio de Chirico, Jean Cocteau, Salvador Dalí, Amedeo Modigliani, Igor Mitoraj, René Magritte, Niki de St Phalle, and Sophia Vari.

The fair is open, and we’ll be here for one more week, until April 25.

We invite you to step into the space, take your time, and experience it with us.


16 - 25 April: 12pm - midnight
Address: PROFUMO, Via Ambrogio Binda 29, 20143, Milan, Italy

Larisa Pitkevich brings together classical reference both aesthetically and conceptually with a distinctly contemporary sensibility, shaping a figure that appears suspended between movement and stillness. The gesture is both precise, ultra-detailed and unstable, as if caught mid-expression, allowing the work to unfold as a moment rather than a fixed form.

Working with self-developed techniques, she builds surfaces that feel at once fragile and assertive, where material becomes a vehicle for emotion and inner narrative. Paganini in its frozen mid-air moment of performance, invites a slower, more contemplative engagement, revealing its tension and harmony gradually, through close attention yet grounds the viewing with a certain familiarity of classic European rococo flair and bravura.

Greek ceramicist Athena Kontonikolaki will be presented in Italy for the first time by LÉ Projects at Mega Art Fair in Milan.

Titled Subversive Stitch, the series features ceramic vessels commissioned for the fair that reclaim repair as an intentional act. Inspired by The Subversive Stitch by Rozsika Parker, the oversized stoneware forms are marked with deliberately applied metal stitches—not to mend, but to assert authorship.

Referencing juci, the ancient Chinese technique of ceramic mending with metal staples, the works borrow the visual language of repair while denying its function, emphasizing gesture over utility. With richly layered, hand-mixed glazes, the vessels explore tensions between softness and structure, while challenging divisions between art and craft and their gendered histories.

Art Fair sneak peek alert! Lara Feldman constructs a psychologically charged landscape where perception and desire quietly collide. Figures dissolve into atmosphere, while dense, tactile passages anchor the composition, creating a work that rewards slow looking.

There is a subtle push and pull between presence and absence, as if the scene is both remembered and imagined. The composition resists resolution, inviting the viewer to linger in its ambiguity.
