<\/p>\nENDLESS POSSIBILITIES\nEngaging in the near endless configuration and shaping possibilities of this art-design-game-book is definitely worth it. Contrary to other tile-based-games and puzzles, Hundred and more doesn’t set any limits to fantasy, be it through rules, shape-parameters or other constraints.\nThe room for free configuration is wide open.\nAfter a few moments, you become overwhelmed by everything that can be built with so little means.\nHundred and more is a tool for creativity training, an art game, a design game, a meditation aid. It can be used for taking a thought break, for finding ideas, for study purposes, to create art, to stimulate fantasy, as anchor for the soul to achieve relaxation, to play at being a builder, to activate both sides of the brain, to experiment, build sculptures, find new variants – to have endless fun – ages 4 to 100.\nDespite its short existence, to this day the Bauhaus is considered one of the 20th century’s most important schools of architecture, design and art. Next year, the Bauhaus celebrates its 100th anniversary. Inspired by the ideas of the Bauhaus masters, author, designer and concrete artist Hans Karl Zeisel created a unique art-design book titled Hundred and more.\nBUILDERS PLAY WITH BAUHAUS\nIt is an interactive book. The users can play at being builders and discover the Bauhaus world by themselves.\nIt is no coincidence that Hundred and more is being published by Edition Canz. “The publisher became internationally famous with the Bauhaus. In 1968, Canz published the catalogue of the famous Bauhaus exhibition in Stuttgart that later travelled the world. Since then, Canz has a name in the art world. So I am very pleased that Edition Canz is showcasing this unique art-design book on the Bauhaus anniversary”, explains editor and director Heinz Wurzel.\nHundred and more is both book and game. Hans Karl Zeisel proves how many abstract sculptures can be built with four simple wooden building blocks in red, yellow, blue and green, each one 7.4 x 7.4 centimetres long. In the enclosed booklet he creates 100 sculptures himself, and with the title “Hundred and more” he invites the users to explore even more variations. As Stuttgart journalist Adrienne Braun writes in the preface: “Suddenly one is astonished to discovery how exciting the interaction of profane surfaces, corners and borders, colours and shapes everywhere in this world is.”\n\t\t\t\t![\"HKZ\"](\"https:\/\/www.finewatches.berlin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/hkz-e1543400546541.jpg\" "\\"HKZ\\"")
\n\tAs a designer, graphic artist and concrete artist, Hans Karl Zeisel has always considered himself a Bauhaus-oriented creator. “I came up with Hundred and More when I was once again looking for something playful that could be configured in different ways, something that could help foster, heighten and preserve creativity”, he explains. He had already designed a magnet-tile-based game with four coloured, two-dimensional squares on the occasion of the 100 years of Stankowski exhibition at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. With Hundred and More, he wanted to look into the third dimension and create small-scale sculptures for everyone. “With every new positioning or change, every builder becomes an artist”, Hans Karl Zeisel says.\n
