Today's interview is with Troy Ouellette, an Assistant Professor with the Department of Visual Arts, where he specializes in\xa0assemblage theory,\xa0technology and conceptual art.\xa0\nOur wide-ranging conversation explores the multi-disciplinary nature of assemblage and conceptual art, touching on the environment, politics, trade, gardening, and the Bauhaus art movement. Troy discusses some of his recent pieces exhibited at the Embassy Cultural House in London, Ont., as well as his current project looking at art and disability. We also learn about the course Troy will be teaching as part of Brock's new engineering program.\nNote: Troy's podcast Media, Art, Other, is now available in Brock's Digital Repository. The podcast series explores media arts, race, class, Indigeneity, identity politics, and disability arts.\n\xa0\nLinks\nTroy Ouellette website\nMedia, Art, Other\nEmbassy Cultural House-- Troy Ouellette\nBrock University Department of Visual Arts\nMarilyn I.
