Adam Dant, 36, lives in London and is known as the creator of Donald Parsnips' Daily Journal that was published from 1995-99 and appeared weekly in the Independent on Sunday. Dant's highly engaging drawings, performances and publications all deal with systems of communication and mediation in a beguiling yet complex manner. His "Anecdotal Plan of Tate Britain" won the 2002 Jerwood drawing prize. His solo exhibition to inaugurate London's first public gallery devoted to drawing, "The Drawing Room" will soon appear as a substantial publication titled "The People Who Live on the Plank".

As well as creating "The Guild of Neologists" Dant's current projects have included establishing a "Children's Police Force" for the Town of Reading and a commissioned artwork for The BBC at White City. He has exhibited worldwide and his works are in the collections of The Arts Council of England, The Museum of London, The Museum of Contemporary Art Lyon, The V&A and numerous other public and private collections.
