Hexagons is a game created by the artist collective point and place, exploring landscape, the body and acts of communication. Drawing on an archive of images created over 10 years of collaborative practice, the game is made of 33 paired images, printed on beautifully crafted hexagonal pieces. An invitation to play and explore, Hexagons can be played as the traditional memory game ‘Pelmanism’ or used as a starting point for creative interaction and improvised play.
Available as a limited-edition of 300 and packaged in a stylish box, Hexagons makes an unusual gift for people who appreciate well-crafted design that is also fun and inspiring for young and old alike. In March 2017, it received great reviews from organisers of the exhibition Play(Hin Bus Depot Contemporary Art Space, Penang) where over 1000 visitors were able to create alternative game playing strategies. It was recently was accepted into the Tate Artist’s Book Archive, the Cove Park library in Scotland, the Hauser & Wirth shop, Somerset and is being used by The University of Chichester MA Dance Dept and Royal Holloway, University of London.

Notes for editors
point and placeis a collective of six artists who have worked together since 2002.
Geographically spread and with diverse individual practices, the group has developed strategies of co-operation and cross-fertilisation incorporating play, physical engagement and poetic language as a process to create work.
Hexagonsis the second project by the group point and place; the first being the unique double-bound artists’ bookwork ‘point and place’ which was published in 2007, and awarded The Birgit Skiold Memorial Award at the 2007 London Artists’ Book Fair. Copies are held in libraries, universities and archives in the UK and abroad, including the Tate Artist’s Book Archive, National Art Library, Yale Center of British Art and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
