Charlie Levine
Cultural Leader | Creative Strategist | Curator

Charlie Levine is a cultural leader and strategist working across contemporary art, media, brands and public culture.

Her practice brings together creative strategy, commissioning, cultural programming and partnership development to create ambitious projects, platforms and experiences across physical, digital and public spaces.

Rooted in photography and curatorial methodologies, with an ongoing interest in the frame, Levine explores how context and people shape the way we encounter ideas, images and stories.

The Practice

SITE - Since her first exhibition, Levine has responded to the site, its histories, stories and potential to host artworks and happenings. From galleries and heritage buildings to streets, stations, shop windows and whole communities, site-responsive practice has remained central to her work.

FRAME - Literally, the space, venue, wall or screen; socially, academically, materially, through a gallery, book or publication; or thematically, Levine considers the frame within which artwork is encountered. This interest grew from her early research into photography and the art of the crop, and continues to shape how she thinks about exhibitions, images and audiences.

STORY - The link between SITE and FRAME, story is the invisible thread running through much of Levine's curatorial work. Stories and fiction can provide the starting point for a project, while the curation and placement of artworks can create new stories, connections and conversations between works, places and audiences.

NETWORK - Connections, conversations and collaborations are central to Levine's practice and often sit at the heart of her key projects. She brings artists, organisations, communities, disciplines and places together to create programmes that are greater than the sum of their parts.
