If it’s May, as any Francophile will know, it must be time for the annual Le French May Arts Festival. We’ll be bringing you highlights of the festival in coming weeks but today we’re starting with something that many consider a quintessential part of any French meal: wine and spirits. Later, violinist Kenneth Li will be with us to tell us about an upcoming concert taking place at a distillery in Quarry Bay. In April, The Works featured the Picasso exhibition at M+ which is curated as a conversation between works by Picasso and the museum’s collection of works by Asian artists. One of the artists whose works are shown alongside those of the Spanish master is Sin Wai Kin.

To mark the 100th anniversary of artist Ha Bik-chuen’s birth, Parasite is currently presenting an exhibition focused on his printmaking practice. Ha used to describe his collagraph plates, plates to which materials had been glued or sealed to make prints, “motherboards”. In the 1970s and 1980s, Ha created over 100 of these “motherboards” and produced over 3,000 collagraphs.
