Lorne Sculpture Biennale 2025 will commission established and emerging artists to explore how contemporary art can respond to, articulate, and augment our experience of place.

Titled STRATA, 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.

Across 16 precincts from 1 – 30 March 2025, the outdoor exhibition will present site-responsive sculpture and spatial installation more broadly, encompassing sonic art, architectural environments, ephemeral installations, and landscape interventions, all uniquely capable of enabling complex and affective experiences of place.

Throughout the Biennale, a suite of public programs, performances, and presentations will establish meaningful exchange and connection between artists, audiences, and communities.
