Dan was co-founder in 2000 of the highly respected MAP/making research project ( MAP= Music, Art and Performance ) which linked students from the RCA with musicians from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in a wide range of ground-breaking collaborative projects leading to live performances in leading concert venues.

A long-time advocate of an interdisciplinary approach to creativity, Dan Fern has also regularly exhibited non-commissioned works in galleries in London and overseas, most recently in a highly successful solo show, Walks With Colour, at England and Co. Gallery in London. The exhibition was accompanied by the publication of the book Dan Fern - Walks with Colour: Recent Works on Paper, edited by Rick Poynor (2006).
