The name derived from to the sheer number of dead birds found in the abandoned parts of th e building - a homage to the much unloved city birds.\n\nThe space\, origi nally a printers set up by Jason Abbott's Father in the 60's has just begu n a major refurbishment and is currently a building site\, which also reso nated with the Coming Home project.\n\nAlongside the work by the invited a rtists\, Catherine Dalton\, Jason Hollis\, Josie Jenkins\, Patrick Kirk-Sm ith\, Andrea Ku\, Jayne Lawless\, Colette Lilley\, Jane MacNeil\, Deborah Morgan and Erika Rushton will be two works by\, Liverpool Beat Poet\, Adri an Henry.\n\nAll welcome to the launch of this exhibition of work by some of Liverpool’s most exciting local artists\, past and present.\n\nOn Sit e: The Plasterer at The Dead Pigeon Gallery\nLaunch night\, 7th September\ , 6-9pm\nThen open between 7th-14th September\, 1pm-6pm every day\n\nArtis ts:\n\nCatherine Dalton\nCatherine’s response to the exhibition brief wa s the idea of making something for the home.
