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.

2025/08 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.

2025/06 Ella Fleck – ♥ Atmospheric Chemistry ♥

Download

Ella Fleck is a London based artist and writer. She works across online sleuthing, scent and chemo-signaling, audio, architecture and text to create large scale installations that look at hetero-male fantasies, biochemistry, technology and somatic infrastructures. Her work has been exhibited in London, New York, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Stockholm etc.

Her first solo exhibition, “Spray” at London gallery Season 4 Episode 6, revolved around a seven-month research project for which she developed the fictional character ‘Jonathan Michaels’ in a variety of online forums exploring a community of heterosexual men experimenting with the use of pheromones, neuro-linguistic programming, and other ‘subliminal’ manipulation techniques in attempts to ‘acquire’ sex and relationships from women. Fleck used her experiences as an interloper in these groups to produce a body of work involving an audio installation, a ducting pipe and fan network emitting pheromone fog in the gallery and a live stream to the Discord server’s general chat. A book of the same title will be published this summer.
