This is also coinciding with all sorts of venues opening new exhibitions this month, including galleries, museums, and art spaces.

Current Plans
Japanese wig artist Tomihiro Kono and multidisciplinary artist Sayaka Maruyama are staging Fancy Creatures: The Art of the Wig at independent art space Current Plans, their first presentation in Hong Kong. Their whimsical, vibrant designs and fantastical installations translate human, animal and plant motifs into sculptural, wearable hair art. The duo create everything from scratch: from drawings of their unique designs to the hand-dyeing, weaving and finally fashioning the hair into surreal works of art.
Date: February 25 - April 23
Address: Current Plans, 2/F, 13 Wong Chuk Street, Sham Shui Po
