Museum, the Museum of Jurassic Technology, Woodbury University and Virginia Commonwealth University, among others. He has also exhibited site-specific work at High Desert Test Sites in Wonder Valley, Calif. and alongside a stream in South Windham, Vt.

Chang was formerly co-director of Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles, and a contributor to the book Dispatches and Directions: On Artist-Run Organizations in Los Angeles and to the journal MATERIAL.
