Brad Rose is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, whose work spans sound, visual art, writing, and participatory practice. Engaging themes of memory, place, and ecological transformation, he creates immersive experiences that blend experimental composition, field recording, material-based visuals, text, and community exchange.
Rooted in listening as a form of care, his practice draws from sonic and material traces to shape environments for reflection and ritual. Over two decades, Rose has developed a place-based approach shaped by Oklahoma’s shifting landscapes. He works with reclaimed objects, organic processes, and found sound to hold space for grief and transformation. His visual work combines salvaged materials, earthen textures, and images born of sunlight. These elements often intertwine with language and sound to create tactile environments where memory becomes something you can touch. His installations frequently unfold through workshops, zines, or informal gatherings that center shared authorship and open-ended storytelling.
At the core of his work is an ethos of listening—not just as an artistic method, but as a way of surviving, remembering, and imagining otherwise. He treats sound and memory as living materials, capable of tending to loss and strengthening connections. His performances and installations respond to shifting landscapes, tracing what disappears, what endures, and what might still take root.
Rose is the founder of Foxy Digitalis, a long-running platform for experimental sound and art, and co-founder of The Bird House, a backyard micro-gallery supporting creative communities in Tulsa. He is a 2024–25 Fellow at the Oklahoma Center for the Humanities and a MAP Fund grantee. Across mediums, his work reaches toward what comes next, bridging the fractures of the past with the fragile beginnings of something new.
