(Being of the Land)

Red Hill

Artist-run initiative

EXHIBITION SUBMISSIONS

Lander—Se is an artist-run gallery and creative destination located on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.

Set within a vernacular barn on 2.5 acres of land, Lander—Se presents a contemporary, spiritual portrait of Australian Landscape through exhibitions, seasonal programs and creative gatherings. Our program centres artists whose practices engage with landscape and environment — materially, conceptually, spiritually or intuitively.

We present fewer, longer exhibitions, allowing time for considered viewing, meaningful dialogue and deeper engagement with both collectors and audiences.

Exhibition Program

Lander—Se operates on a seasonal exhibition rhythm, with exhibitions typically running 6–8 weeks throughout Spring, Summer and Autumn.

We present:

  • Solo exhibitions

  • Duo / Trio exhibitions

  • Quartet exhibitions

  • Group exhibitions

  • Seasonal Open Call Group Exhibitions

  • Online Stockroom presentations

Please note we do book our exhibitions months in advance and exhibitions are primarily by invitation; however, artist submissions are welcome where practices align with our curatorial direction.

Exhibition Fees

As an artist-run gallery, Lander—Se operates with artworks on consignment and a dual model of exhibition participation fees and commission on sales.

The gallery takes 30% +gst commission on all sold works. Exhibition fees vary depending on exhibition format, scale and duration. As a guide, exhibition fees typically range from $3,200—$8,000 per exhibition, shared between artists where applicable.

This structure supports sustainable, well-resourced exhibitions and protects both artists and the gallery. Exhibition fees contribute directly to professional presentation, documentation, marketing and press opportunities.

Inclusions

Each exhibition presented by Lander—Se is professionally resourced and supported. Exhibition participation includes:

  • Curatorial guidance and exhibition planning

  • Professional installation and de-installation

  • Digital exhibition catalogue and online pre-sales campaign

  • Professional catalogue photography and installation documentation

  • EDM promotion to our collector mailing list, social media promotion, and press outreach

  • Opening event, event photography, gallery staffing, and winery partnership

  • Sales processing, collector liaison, and delivery logistics

Our longer exhibition durations allow for deeper storytelling, extended exposure, and sustained engagement.

Gallery Space

Lander—Se comprises two interconnected exhibition spaces: the Main Gallery and an optional Back-Room Gallery, used together or independently depending on the scale and nature of each exhibition. Both spaces feature professional track lighting.

Main Gallery

  • Approx. 60sqm with 3.3–6m high pitched ceilings

  • Invisible gallery track system positioned at 3.1m

  • All wall-based works are hung using clear gallery track cords

  • 13 linear metres of hanging wall space, comprising: 6m wall, 4m wall, 2 x 1.5m walls

  • 2.8m x 10m of glass timber entry doors flood the gallery with natural light

Back-Room Gallery (Optional)

  • 2.4m ceiling height

  • 12 linear metres of gallery wall space, comprising: 6m wall, 2 x 2m walls, 1.5m wall

The back-room gallery may be utilised for larger bodies of work or extended exhibition narratives. If not required for an exhibition, it will be curated with a selection of stockroom works during the exhibition period.

Exhibition installation, artwork placement and use of gallery spaces are determined through curatorial planning, guided by the nature, scale and cohesion of the works presented.

Presentation Options

  • Wall-based and sculptural works are welcomed

  • Our collection of plinths and display furniture are available for artist use

  • Additional custom display elements may be quoted per installation, where required

A downloadable floor plan with wall dimensions will be provided to confirmed exhibiting artists.

Submissions

We focus on presenting artists whose practices engage with landscape and environment — materially, conceptually, spiritually or intuitively. We value thoughtful, resolved bodies of work and artists who actively engage with the gallery community and support their peers.

If this resonates with your practice and you would like to be considered for an exhibition at Lander—Se, please email: art@landerse.au with a brief introduction to your practice, your location, artist statement and cv, along with a short paragraph regarding the body of work you hope to exhibit or the themes you’re exploring. Include a dropbox link with up to 10 recent works, links to your website + social media.

Selected artists will be invited to review our full Artist Exhibition Kit and exhibition agreement outlining artist and gallery's rights and responsibilities. Final programming decisions are made at the gallery’s discretion.
