Bureau Doove is a creative consultancy offering consultancy, copywriting, curatorial, mentoring, production and research services.
BUREAU DOOVE is organised by Edith Doove, a curator, writer and researcher, specifically interested in notions of emergence and contingency, cross and transdisciplinary collaborations. Central to her practice are the interconnections between art, care and research.
She started curating in 1987 in Antwerp and worked as a freelance curator and art critic in Belgium until 2010. During that time she curated multiple exhibitions, amongst others as director-curator of MDD-Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens (1999-2004) and curator of such large scale projects as A Riddle for Zoersel (2000), Super! Triennial for Visual Art, Fashion and Design – Hasselt (2005) and Parallellepipeda – between art & science – Museum M, Leuven (2010). In 2023 she was the curator visual arts for the Arts Festival Watou, and in 2024 she curated The Research Group – an artists collective 1967-1972 with accompanying publication at De Stadsmus, Hasselt. See this link for a full overview.
In 2010 she moved to Plymouth, UK to join Transtechnology Research at Plymouth University where she attained her PhD in november 2017. Following Brexit she moved to France in 2018, where she currently lives and works in Rouen.
She is a postdoctoral advisor with Transtechnology Research, a principal investigator at Vagab(o/u)nds Research, and a member of AICA, C-E-A and RN13BIS.
