The recently (re?) added list of exhibitions seems to have been taken from here on Kawauchi's site, complete with strange typos, superfluous CAPITALIZATION, etc.
If this stuff is worth (re?) adding, surely it's worth checking. -- Hoary (talk) 13:58, 11 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Most of the exhibition names are work of artists/curator and gallery/museum, so when it has CAPITALIZATION or typo, made in purpose, it has to be there. As for Galleries and Museums names, right, I guess it just improper translation from Japanese or just taken from gallery site and need to be changed. For example "FOIL GALLERY" mentions itself only with CAPITAL letters, but I think in our case it has to be "FOIL Gallery". I will start changing this.

Hello from Japan. The "Foil" of "Foil Gallery" is pronounced [ɸoiɾɯ] or similar. I'm no expert in IPA, so may have made some mistake in that; but a monoglot English speaker would pronounce it as the English word "foil" ("to foil a plot"), not "ef oh eye ell". Japanese people may well write "FOIL", but that would be in part because of Japanese beliefs about capitalization. -- Hoary (talk) 08:18, 13 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Hello from Israel :). I don't think it's a matter of pronunciation, but an actual matter of how Curator calls the gallery and Artist calls an exhibition. I recently visited exhibition, which Artist called "aPOllo", which is absolutely wrong from any language POV, but absolutely perfect, since this is the name, made by Artist and Curator.

Nope, sorry. WP's Manual of Style tells us to ignore the idiosyncratic capitalization of trademarks and the like. Please see MOS:TMRULES. Japanese artists (or their advertisers) are particularly fond of DISTINCTIVE CAPITALIZATION; however, this is a non-issue: please see "Capitalization of roman-letter names, etc., generated in Japan". -- Hoary (talk) 12:37, 14 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thank you very much for the information. I'll read the manual. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:06, 14 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
