Press for Idris Khan: 21 Stones, the British Museum’s first site-specific artwork

The work forms part of the new Albukhary Foundation Gallery of the Islamic World (from 18 October 2018).

 

Khan’s 21 drawings are based on The Stoning of the Jamarat or ‘Stoning of the Devil’ a ritual that takes place during the annual Islamic Hajj pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca.
