Angelique Campens is an art historian, writer and curator working at the intersection of art, architecture and public space. Her research focuses on post-war architecture-sculpture networks, monumental sculpture in public space and béton brut. In 2025, Routledge published her book Beyond Brutalism and the Postwar Architecture–Sculpture Network, which grew out of her PhD research at Ghent University on André Bloc and the post-war architecture-sculpture debate.
Her work moves between research, writing, and curatorial practice. She has curated and contributed to projects at institutions including The Kitchen and the Whitney Museum in New York, Kulturprojekte Berlin, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, WIELS, BOZAR and Fondation CAB. In 2007–2008, she was a Curatorial Fellow at the Whitney Independent Study Program (ISP). Modernist architecture has been a recurring thread throughout her career, particularly through her long-term engagement with Juliaan Lampens and the Belgian artist-architect Jacques Moeschal. This has led to, among other things, the first English-language monograph on Lampens, the publication Jacques Moeschal: Architecture Sculptures, and, most recently, the centenary programme around Bibliotheek Lampens.
Her writing has appeared in catalogues and journals such as Taschen Art Now Vol. 4, Abitare, Domus, Sculpture Journal and Aspect. Alongside this, she teaches at KASK / School of Arts Ghent and is Review Editor for Public Art Dialogue (Taylor & Francis). She also initiated Experiencing Art in Public Space, a think tank and podcast exploring the relation between art, architecture, education and public space.
