Černe Oven completed her PhD at the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication at the University of Reading (UK) in the area of history, typography and language. She became research fellow and worked with professor Paul Stiff on the project “The Optimism of Modernity: Recovering Modern Reasoning in Typography”, for which, among other things, she curated an exhibition on the British artist and typographer Edward Wright and edited the companion book Edward Wright: Readings, Writings (Hyphen Press, 2007).

In 2011, she collaborated on an extensive research project on the Slovene designer Miljenko Licul, which culminated in an exhibition at the National Gallery of Slovenia in Ljubljana, for which she edited the accompanying book on the designer.

Since 2010, Černe Oven has teamed up with her colleague, Barbara Predan, to edit the collection entitled 42 (published by the Pekinpah Association), which publishes books on the subject of design theory. Up until now, 20 books have been published in the series. The books are always part of larger projects, seminars, workshops, and exhibitions. In 2012, she and Barbara Predan developed the project “Designing an Agenda, or, How to Avoid Solving Problems That Aren’t” (Pekinpah Association and the Regional Development Agency of the Ljubljana Urban Region), which looked at the fields of service and information design in both theoretical and practical terms. In 2013 they published a scholarly monograph under the same title. In 2014, Černe Oven and Predan were invited to contribute a text to the Information design: research and practice (Routledge 2017). In the same year they finished a project Death in Design (various workshops in 4 countries, book, exhibition) which examines the advantages and disadvantages of a world without death, and offers pointers on how to detect, depict, explain, kill, and survive death.
