Step inside the mind of an artist who turns the wreckage of advertising into something unforgettable. Join us at 701CCA for a free artist talk with our current artist in residence, Tra Bouscaren.
What to expect:
- A reception to mingle, sip, and connect with fellow art lovers
- An up-close talk from a post-disciplinary artist working at the edge of waste culture and the surveillance state
- Insight into work built from salvaged billboards, e-waste, neon, and demolition metals
- Stories from an international career and the Expanded Media Lab he founded in 2019
Who it's for:Anyone curious about contemporary art, bold ideas, and what happens when spectacle becomes raw material. Artists, students, collectors, and the simply curious all welcome.
The details:Tra has been in residence with us since May 22 and departs June 29, 2026, so this is a rare chance to hear from him before he goes.
🕕 Reception: 6–7pm, in the hallway between the gallery and office (2nd floor)🕖 Artist Talk: 7–8pm, in the Gallery (2nd floor)
His work has traveled the world, from Berlin and Madrid to the Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh and Lincoln Center in NYC. Now it's right here, and so is he.
