Lorne Sculpture Biennale 2025 will build on previous iterations to showcase a series of site-responsive artworks, commissioning established and emerging artists to explore how contemporary art can respond to, articulate, and augment our experience of place.
Curated by Simon Lawrie, the artistic vision derives from the iconic geology of Gadubanud Country – the stratified landscape of the Great Ocean Road serves as an analogy for the fact that one place is many places, layered both physically and experientially through time, culture, and species.
In October 2005 a meeting of Friends of Lorne Arts met at Graeme Wilkie’s Qdos to discuss his long held dream to stage a world-class sculpture exhibition along the dramatic sweep of Lorne’s famous foreshore. This resulted in overwhelming support from the community and regional authorities, and the formation of Lorne Sculpture Exhibition Inc.
The 2022 Biennale produced an incredible variety of beautiful images and scenes reflecting the theme Spirit of Place. Some of these were created during the event and some before in the creation of the works.
The Lorne Sculpture Biennale requires the support of individuals, organisations and funding bodies, alongside artists, the local community and many others to contribute to the success of our event. Members and Volunteers.
Support via donations contributes to the success of our event. Our event is a registered charity with deductible gift recipient status with the Australian Tax Office.
