Dan Carden MP hosts Dead Pigeon Gallery

Dan Carden, local Walton MP has kindly agreed to let Dead Pigeon Gallery take over his office space for a three month period. This will be DPG’s second group show and continues their developing theme of exhibiting art in unexpected places.

It’s a unique collaboration; housing art and politics together under one roof and offers many avenues for discussion, particularly the value of art and culture to a community. It also demonstrates a new and welcome attitude from our local MP and shows the community that new ideas are welcome and encouraged.

Artists:

Andrea Ku
Andrea Ku is a Landscape Architect with a focus on urban biodiversity. She not only designs spaces but works with individuals to build them and teach the use of the landscape in relation to surveys, habitats, conservation and food growing.

Catherine Dalton
Catherine’s work centres around textile design, hand printing and stitch. This current body of work incorporates all three and is inspired by industry and wind turbines, focusing on movement and power.

Jane MacNeil
MacNeil is a commercial and editorial photographer based in Liverpool, England. She makes the unseen seen by taking photographs in a reportage, observational, street photography style. Clients include Le Monde, University of Liverpool, Aintree University Hospital, British Gas, Homebaked, Bitten Magazine and Binary Festival

Jayne Lawless
Jayne’s practice continues to highlight the diversity of her work. Heavily influenced by time
spent with community based project Homebaked and watching her home and community in
Everton bulldozed due a government regeneration scheme. Travels to Mexico, Cyprus, Poland,
Slovakia and Hungary interweave and influence thinking around positive action using art as the
vehicle for change.

Louis Jeck Prestige
Louis Jeck-Prestidge makes sculpture using discarded materials. These objects often reference the home and are inscribed with psychological and emotional experiences. Abject, quirky and very human, these inanimate objects engage the viewer in a very direct confrontation with the materials and systems that govern our daily rituals and surroundings.
