Out of Oblivion: Paphos Theatre Excavations Cyprus / 1998-1999

A collaborative exhibition between the University of Sydney; Faculty of Creative Arts, University of Wollongong; and the Faculty of Environmental Design, University of Canberra. This exhibition was curated by Diana Wood Conroy and held at the Faculty of Creative Arts, The University of Wollongong (7-11 September 1998, December 1998-February 1999) the MacLaurin Hall, The University of Sydney (23 October 1998) and the Faculty of Environmental Design, the University of Canberra (23 February 1999).

The Paphos Theatre excavation has literally brought a structure out of the ground that had been forgotten and lost to knowledge. Out of the oblivion of the past is a glimpse of an architectural elegance from a brilliant moment in Hellenistic history. This exhibition demonstrates how artists, archaeologists and architects working together can combine precise material documentation with the processes of the imagination to form a fresh relationship to ancient traditions.

This exhibition featured work by visual artists Diana Wood Conroy, Celeste Goulding, Christine Holland, Susan Ingram, David Loong, Marcie McConville, Helen McCosker, Tim Martin, Helen-Joy Suliman.
