About This Print
Damaged Times is a 2017 screen print by Shepard Fairey, published by Obey Giant. It measures 18 x 24 inches, is printed on cream Speckletone paper, signed by Fairey, and issued as a numbered edition of 450. Fairey created it to commemorate and accompany the Damaged Times newspaper, a 26-page supplement he published alongside his DAMAGED exhibition in Downtown Los Angeles. The newspaper inverted the standard media model with real news and fake ads, and featured contributors including Henry Rollins and Naomi Klein. The print's message, that viewers should resist the deterioration of mass media by becoming the media themselves, drives its critique of corporate media decay.
