Drawing Lines in the Sand is a group exhibition on Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour, presented by Peloton. Installation projects have been developed by Julia Davis, Elizabeth Day, Christian Edwardes, Lisa Jones, Derek Allen, Geoff Kleem and Adam Norton.

The participating artists have engaged with various aspects of the site's institutional heritage and topography, considering the island as a historic, tangible place and a symbolic space more broadly. The artworks in the exhibition reflect upon conditions of interiority and exteriority in a uniquely Australian context. This relates to a perspective that encompasses contradictory and conflicting extremes, a geographic imaginary particular to the Island Continent.

Visitors can explore a Virtual Reality Simulator, take a walk through a forest of scaffolding, follow a journey descending into a saltmine, hear a ghost of the many machines that once were deafening within the island's workshops, and perhaps get lost within a giant drawing.
