Extending our Capital theme, we have received through the post, from the University of Queensland Art Museum, an invitation to the travelling (art droving) exhibition :
CAPITAL & COUNTRY : THE FEDERATION YEARS 1900-1914
The invitation reproduces a 1906 painting by Harry Garlick, The drover, from the collection of the National Gallery of Australia.
Before we show that invitation, here is the NGA's online reproduction of The drover from an earlier (2007-2009) travelling (art droving) exhibition :
Ocean to Outback: Australian Landscape Painting 1850–1950
in the manner of a later LANGUAGE or CONCEPTUAL ARTIST

TAR and the mirrors of emptiness : we looked online for earlier stock route camps of the drovers of CAPITAL & COUNTRY and were rewarded with this devoided scene of white/blanc (Fr.) projection-spaces whose spectral reflections appear to indicate something quite other.
What is the CAPITAL of IMAGE & TEXT ? At that NGA website, this image is accompanied by the following text composition, beginning with the SURNAME of the artist in LARGE(R) CAPITAL LETTERS than the Prenom/Christian Name/ First Name :

Below this image was the following text
Capital and country: the Federation years 1900 - 1914 is the National Gallery of Australia's first major exhibition to focus on Australian painting from this formative era of the nation's history.
Drawing together the art of a newly Federated Australia with the work of Australias residing in Europe, the 46 works in this exhibition invite viewers on a journey from the Australian bush to bohemian enclaves of London and Paris.
Well-known and loved paintings from the national collection will be on display to tell the stories of thie era, as well as works from the collections of the Parliament of Australia and the National Library of Australia.
