In conjunction with the Monday Night Music crew, Lorne Sculpture presents three Monday Night Music events featuring poets, writers and musicians telling their stories of place. 

Monday 14th March features local writer Mick Sowry and the wonderful harmonies of Lucy and the Night Sky.

Flowers for Lorne will re-imagine the relationship between Lorne and three specific creative individuals of the late 19^th and early 20^th century: Rudyard Kipling, Mark Twain and D.H. Lawrence. 

Over three performances using light and the spoken word de Clario will take his audience on a journey that will celebrate Lorne as a site of artistic pilgrimage.

Performance Three: A translation into keyboard sound of Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘Flowers for Lorne’, written following his visit to Lorne and the Erskine River Falls.

Domenico de Clario's contribution to the Lorne Sculpture Biennale (Spirit of Place) consists of four performances. Three of the performances focus on the enigmatic presence of D. H Lawrence, Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling in Lorne, during a period spanning the end of the 19^th century and the beginning of the 20^th.

The fourth performance is titled ‘Songs for Albert’ and homages the life and work of Albert Namatjira through a sound / dance presentation (keyboard, voice, body and alto saxophone) of the songs he loved. It takes place at 8 pm on Friday March 18 (full moon) at St Cuthbert’s Uniting Church in Mountjoy Parade. 

‘dwell’ will be a shared and collaborative experience of rewilding sculpture – as performance and trace. Multi-dimensional and collaborative, the work will be performed by different artists and performers.

Join Pattie as she creates an evolving, ephemeral work over 10 days from found materials sourced locally and respectfully in Lorne and surrounds. The space will be converted into one in which the audience will want to dwell – look out to the horizon, close eyes, touch, feel and smell the rawness of the seaside.

Over two weekends (19-20 and 26-27 March), 8 artists (4 each weekend) will install an ephemeral sculptural work along the foreshore at the Erskine rivermouth. Sculptors can include performance, or even involve the public in the work’s construction.

Come along and experience artwork that will remain in place for one weekend only. Watch the artists at work, or even participate in the construction itself.

In a performance reminiscent of Jane Campion’s movie, The Piano, Lucy O’Grady will perform an acoustic set of covers and originals evocative of our theme, Spirit of Place.

In this workshop, Surf Coast illustrator Michelle Conn will guide you in the creation of your own Deborah Halpern-inspired 2D work using collage techniques.
