Please join us this Thursday, June 12th at librairie Formats for the official Montreal launch of Issue 13 of Four Minutes to Midnight. Though we recently held an intimate launch party amongst friends during the Howl Arts Festival, I’m excited to be partnering up with Formats for this, and to introduce the project to their network of artist-run centres.

In conversation with John last night, it struck me again that we’ve been doing this for ten long years, from London and Montreal, from Brixton and Mile End. Over that time we’ve promoted and published an astonishing collection of artists, writers, musicians. It’s been quite a journey, and there are far too many people to thank, but I think the best way is to just keep doing what we’re doing, and getting it out there the best we can. Or someone can bring us a cake to share…

RSVP on Facebook here.

John and I will be performing the Fugue from the issue at the launch. We haven’t read together in a long time, so I don’t guarantee it’ll be good, but I do promise it will be from the heart.

Below, a selection of launch posters, showcasing all the amazing musicians who have performed for us over the years.

And a photo from the panel discussion at Drawn and Quarterly, where we launched Issue 12, bringing together the “oldies” from Expozine to celebrate and discuss 10 years of the fair.
