SINGAPORE - A Japanese and a South Korean are marooned on a disputed island roughly halfway between their two countries.

It is among the art in an eponymous exhibition that opened in Hong Kong on Monday and runs until Sept 13 at Tai Kwun - Centre for Heritage and Arts, in the galleries at the JC Contemporary building. The exhibition can be viewed online from June. Dr Yap, 46, says:"While the exhibition features the artworks of two museum collections, they are connected visually or conceptually, speaking to and for each other, even across nationality and generation."

Some of the items are from Chua's personal collection as it was his habit to look out for interesting objects during his daily commutes or frequent visits to flea markets. Chua, 46, says:"Each object has its own history and story to tell. It makes you wonder where they are from and who they belonged to."

Among the 11 works from SAM's collection at the exhibition are four acquisitions that have not been shown before as part of the museum's collection. These include works by Singaporean artists Ho Tzu Nyen and Charles Lim.
