Meet Michael Jang

Meet Michael Jang as he signs copies of his brand-new zine, Lunch Special, available for the first time at this event! This event is free to attend and open to the public.

San Francisco photographer Michael Jang has spent a lifetime documenting the world around him. In early 2021, he wheat-pasted a series of his photographic images taken in the 1970s over a boarded-up storefront on Clement Street, the heart of San Francisco’s unofficial Chinatown. Unsanctioned public installations have since become his primary form, fueling his artistic practice with new resonance.

Jang’s SFMOMA commission The Whole Story (2022–23), which is currently on view on Floor 2, departs from his Clement Street project. Jang’s frequent interventions bring new images and designs to this work as a play on the dynamism and temporality of graffiti culture, along with a way to engage with the public over time.

The Whole Story (2022–23) is free to see on Floor 2 through June 18, 2023.
