MUSE 26

Published July 16, 2026

MUSE is an annual photography exhibition running alongside Calgary’s Exposure Photography Festival. This year marked the first ever printed catalog of works to support the exhibition.

Across the submitted works in this year’s exhibition, there was a clear theme of earnestness and the analogue, both in concept and in medium. To tie these submissions together and articulate their connections, we leaned into an icon of the analogue and the birthing tool of ideas: the humble pencil.

The optical size variations included with each weight of Die Grotesk gave the required flexibility for the mice-type colophon in the book all the way to the giant vinyl-cut lettering within the exhibition space.
