Raheel Khan (b. 1992, Nottingham) is a London-based artist & composer working in installation, performance & text. His practice considers constructing environments where sound and objects converge, forming landscapes that reflect on design infrastructures and their containment of communal memory. Khan’s work is guided by a compositional and research framework that abstracts the terms machine, devotion and acoustic, into themes addressing policy, time-loops, mystics, religion and frequencies. Drawing from lived experiences and collective consciousness he treats his sound work in galleries as resonant forms, primarily working with electroacoustic and vibrational sensibilities. Sculptural installations and assemblages are often made from reclaimed material sourced from people and places and are staged to consider and reconsider our relation to product, belongings and object histories.
