On Art Rocks! Friday, November 9 at 8:30 pm and Saturday, November 10 at 5:30 pm, we visit with New Orleans artist Lin Emery, acclaimed worldwide for her sculptures that harness and reflect the forces of nature. An impressive collection of Emery’s kinetic figures, powered by wind, water, magnets or motors, is currently on view at the Louisiana Art & Science Museum in Baton Rouge.  Plus, we learn why Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. John Passion stirs controversy. Then, head to southwest Louisiana with us to explore the Brimstone Museum and learn the history of our state’s sulphur mining industry. That’s this week’s Louisiana Treasure.

Hosted by James Fox-Smith of Country Roads Magazine, Art Rocks! is LPB’s weekly series that spotlights artists, performance, culture, literature, history and the impact of art in our world. It features Louisiana stories, as well as segments from across the country.
