A CITY art gallery will showcase the culmination of a five-month project in North Liverpool this weekend.
Static Gallery in Roscoe Lane will host Austrian artist Karl-Heinz Klopf's You're Having a Laugh on Saturday.

The artist has been working in residence across Everton, Anfield and Breckfield as part of an exchange between Liverpool and Linz-based artists and Liverpool Biennial's Urban Interventions programme.
The Static event is described as part-installation, part-exhibition, part-performance and part-party, representing the idea of a great night out.
Mr Klopf has created a dynamic diagram, hand-drawn in chalk on an oversized blackboard, which shows the network of interwoven social groups he encountered during his residency, alongside sketch-books, drawings, videos and some special objects found for the occasion.
Collaborators include local artist Frank Green, new band Young Kicks and Liverpool comedian Sam Avery.
Mr Klopf is currently working on a film work that aims to capture the spirit and life of Everton, Anfield and Breckfield, along with a proposal for a temporary public art project.
He said: "I've met so many passionate people, determined to create opportunity and change in their neighbourhoods.
"My installation aims to present the links between them all in the context of a great night out."
You're Having a Laugh will be open to view from 10-5pm on Saturday.
A preview takes place on Friday from 7-9pm and anyone who wants to attend that should email rsvp@biennial.com
