Thumbs up for the Mothership features individual works as well as a collaborative installation by New Orleans conceptual artist Dawn DeDeaux and Alabamian self-taught sculptor and musician Lonnie Holley.

Lin Emery: Driving Forces at the Georgia Museum of Art

This exhibition features kinetic sculptures by the internationally recognized New Orleans artist Lin Emery. Four large-scale sculptures, made to move in the wind, will be on view in the Jane and Harry Willson Sculpture Garden, while smaller sculptures will be exhibited indoors. Executed in either polished or brushed aluminum, the sculptures take their cue from music, dance and natural forms, especially flowers and trees, both in their shapes and in how they respond to a passing breeze.
