WITH WHAT REMAINS: AN ART EXHIBITION AT THE CYPRUS MUSEUM FEATURING WORKS BY ANDREAS MALLOURIS AND LEONTIOS TOUMPOURIS
The Department of Antiquities of the Deputy Ministry of Culture presents With What Remains, an exhibition at the Cyprus Museum featuring works by Andreas Mallouris and Leontios Toumpouris, curated by Cristina Anglada. The exhibition runs from 6 November 2026 to 31 January 2027.
Taking place as the Cyprus Museum prepares its main collection for relocation, the exhibition explores fragments, reconstruction, memory and care. Through site-specific interventions responding to the Museum’s archaeological exhibits and spaces, the artists consider what it means to work with what remains, from archaeological fragments and damaged objects to bodies, scars, memories and landscapes. Leontios Toumpouris engages with archaeology, landscape and the museum through sculpture, fiction and collective processes, approaching transition and non-resolution as spaces for development and speculation. Drawing on both his artistic practice and experience as a reconstructive surgeon, Andreas Mallouris explores vulnerability, healing and the body through gestures of care, tools, flowers and scars. His work considers the wound as a site of vulnerability, knowledge, identification and care. Rather than seeing reconstruction as a return to an original state, With What Remains considers it a process of interpretation, care and imagination, asking not only what survives, but what new possibilities can emerge from what remains. The exhibition is supported by Pylon Art & Culture and the BA in Fine Art, Department of Design & Multimedia, University of Nicosia.
