Charlotte Parallel is a New Zealand based artist working in the fields of sculpture, sound installation, collaboration and performance. Parallel completed her Master of Fine Arts at Dunedin School of Art in 2016. Since this time, she has been exhibiting consistently to further her interests in sonic cartography, often choosing to respond to site in a temporal way, where sound is the means of directing attention to the active forces of a place. Especially the ways in which, through our capacity as a transducer, we exist in a continuum of, and specific concentration within, the electromagnetic field.

Since 2003 Dunedin has been the home base for Charlotte Parallels artistic activity which includes a range of curatorial and community initiated collaborative art projects. From 2010 specifically with The Anteroom, a project art space based in Port Chalmers. The Anteroom is an artist run space committed to representing experimental projects with a national and international network of exhibiting artists.
