Michael Jang: Say Hey Michael J
Product Description
The latest zine from Michael Jang documents his installation Evidence of Manifestation in the Get in the Game exhibition.

The zine includes additional photos and ephemera from Jang’s collection and reproduces the mural its entirety as a two-page centerpiece.

Michael Jang
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.
