Taiwan is in a public fight with South Korea's Gwangju Biennale after organizers dropped "Taiwan" from the name of its exhibit — a bad sign for Taiwan's shrinking room to appear under its own name abroad.

• The biennale quietly renamed the "Taiwan Pavilion" after the museum running it, and Taipei is demanding the original name back.
• Organizers say the museum signed up as an institution, not a country, so it gets the museum's name.
• Taiwan's culture ministry says the paperwork says otherwise — the proposal, the approval and months of emails all used "Taiwan Pavilion" until the switch in June.
• Organizers deny any political censorship and call it a filing question; Taiwan has protested through its office in Seoul and gotten nowhere.

Outlook: Taiwan says it will insist on the "Taiwan Pavilion" name and act if the deal is broken, with the show opening in early September.
