Pah-d'-Bah: Olivia Bax at Howick Place

Brooke Benington & HS Projects are delighted to present Pah-d’-Bah, an exhibition of recent and new work by the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award 2019/2020 recipient, Olivia Bax at Howick Place.

The title of the exhibition is after a new sculpture Bax has specifically made for 5 Howick Place and is the pronounced sound of Pas de Basque, a term for a ballet step that is also used in Scottish Country dancing. It is often the initial move when a pair of dancers first meet, an appropriate reference for post-lockdown. Both dancers move to the right, then to the left as they progress through the dance.
