Raheel Khan
East Gallery Fellow
Research and Knowledge Exchange
Raheel Khan is a London-based artist and composer working across installation, performance, drawing and text.
Raheel Khan is an East Gallery Fellow, 2025-2026.
His practice considers the construction of environments where sound and objects converge, forming landscapes that reflect on human routine, design infrastructures and their containment of communal memory. Khan approaches physical sites as collaborators, allowing architectural, material, and social conditions to actively inform and decide the work.
Guided by a compositional and research-led framework, Khan works with the concept of machine, devotion, and the acoustic to explore themes of home, policy, trade, time-loops, mysticism, religion, noise and frequency. Sound is treated as a resonant and material form within the gallery, working across electroacoustics, amplified, and vibrational sensibilities. Sculptural installations and assemblages are often produced using reclaimed materials sourced through local contexts and circulation, and are staged to question our relationships to products, belongings, and object histories.
