Hassan Khan is an artist, musician and writer. His work engages with familiar, shared conditions and undisclosed personal references to arrive at forms that suggest imagined communities, raise fundamental questions, channel conditions simmering under the surface, seduce and alienate, engage with expectations, pose mysteries as well as help to re-articulate our experiences with shifting structures of power.  To this end he makes use of the widest range of media such as video, photography, performance and installation. The artist considers the medium to not to be a sort of field that has to be mastered but rather a source of possibilities, potential as well as learning.

Hassan Khan's notable solo exhibitions include the Centre Pompidou, Paris (2022); Kestnergesellschaft, Hannover (2019); Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai (2019); Palacio de Cristal | Museum Reina Sofia, Madrid (2019-2020); Kestnergesellschaft, Hannover (2019); Beirut Art Center, Beirut (2016); MMK, Frankfurt (2015); Downtown Contemporary Arts Festival, Cairo (2014); SALT, Istanbul (2012); CCA, Kitakyushu (2011); Kunst Halle, St Gallen (2009).
