Interjection Calendar
The Interjection Calendar is an online project, devised and hosted by Montez Press. Each month an artist or writer is commissioned to produce a new piece of work for release on our website. The PDF can be downloaded for free and there are 12 releases per year, in line with the calendar theme. At the end of the year the collection is published, demonstrating a diverse range of collaborations and experimental works. The calendar reflects the current importance of online content media, pushing image/text relationships in this domain through contemporary art writing.

2025/09 Raheel Khan – Expensive Sh-it

Download

Raheel Khan is an artist and composer whose practice interrogates and responds to belief systems, social phenomena, and policy - particularly those that seem suspended or emerging only to become obsolete. Khan’s presentations focus on dissecting objects, infrastructures, materials, instruments, frequencies, and text, reconfiguring them through a compositional and research framework he calls ‘machine noise, devotional loops, and acoustic pressure.'

Originally a student in Economics, Khan’s move towards a creative practice has seen his recent work presented at Bold Tendencies, London, and Nottingham Contemporary, Nottingham. He is currently a resident at Somerset House Studios, developing a performance for the Assembly music series, and artist-in-residence at iniva, where he is working towards a performance commission at Camden Art Centre. His debut institutional solo exhibition will open in London in Autumn 2025.

2025/08 R.I.P Germain – Nose Buster

Download

R.I.P. Germain’s practice is anti-didactic, sitting instead in a baggy space of iteration, loose attempts at classification, description and discussion that remain resistant to comfortable moral certainties, or stable meanings and values. Demonstrating an application of the tools and logics of artmaking, and the development of a visual language applied to topics that are routinely flattened – whether it is to glamorise or demonise – R.I.P. Germain seeks to unpick and analyse, and provide some cognitive space around the hyperobjects of Black culture. Suspicious of stable meaning making, R.I.P. Germain’s interests lie with uncovering things that may be uncomfortable, while resisting the urge to over explain or claim authority. The multidimensionality and possible inversions of perspective inherent in the work are then techniques to question where privilege lies, and ask us to personally examine our subject position and how we might have arrived at the place we have. 

2025/07 Ethan O'Connor – The Knights Templar

Download

Ethan O’Connor (b. 1991, Manchester) is a writer of fiction and personal essays.

In 2024, he performed his short story Dungeness at Factory International, Manchester, which focused on the cosmic nature of ageing, creative legacy, and collective cultural trauma inherited by gay men.

He collaborated with his sister, artist Evie O’Connor, on a publication for her show The Gulf at Taymour Grahne Projects, London, in 2023. He also provided a piece of flash science fiction for Armando D. Cosmos’ SHTF works at Nest gallery, The Hague, that same year.
