"The Paphos Theatre, Cyprus: conjunctions of art and archaeology" |
| Speaker: |

'All images of the Paphos theatre, Cyprus, copyright of the University of Sydney.'
Artists from the University of Wollongong and archaeologists from the University of Sydney have worked together at the excavation of a Greco-Roman theatre in Paphos, Cyprus from 1996 to 2006.
The theatre in antiquity brought together all the arts (architecture, sculpture, painting, poetry, music, song, drama) as the central point of communication and ritual. This lecture explores the intersections of art and archaeology through the understanding of material cultures between Cyprus and Australia. The discussion emphasises the central focus of experimental art making, especially in textiles, drawing and photography and its links to wider theoretical issues in the scholarly research field of archaeology and art history. The Paphos Theatre project in Creative Arts enlarges the developing understanding of art as 'research' in the university.
