Adam Dant - The Theatre, Shoreditch, three-colour chiaroscuro woodcut, 2010
Whilst researching Adam Dant for both my essay and reprographic project, i came across this: http://blog.eyemagazine.com/?p=4545, an article about printmakers' responses to Shakespeare by printmakers from RCA, on the Eye blog. There are some lovely examples of printmaking.
also this http://spitalfieldslife.com/2010/05/29/adam-dant-artist/ is an excellent article about Adam Dant, which talks about his early life and also his print The New Street Cries of Spittelfields. For five years he self-published a sort of daily newspaper which he distributed for free each day, which he described as "the strategy of the fine artist, confounding people with preposterousness". Definite links with dada there.
