OUT OF PRINT celebrates the rebellious, democratic force of ink and paper, 400+ screen prints and new hybrids honoring the tactile, public power of printing to provoke dialogue, stir thought and spark action.“Some people say digital media has ended print, but the provocative, tactile experience of a print on a wall or in the wild, can’t be replaced. Printing still matters!” - Shepard Fairey.Featured on this post, are some of the historic and rare editions that will be available on site. Archival materials, process ephemera, and contextual graphics round out the presentation, offering a behind‐the‐scenes look at the artist’s methods and influences posters, album art, skateboard graphics, and punk flyers among them:These special mixed media art pieces are a hybrid of stencil painting and screen printing. There are only two variants of each color combination. These pieces are 18x24 on deckled edge cotton rag paper.🔥Opening Reception: Saturday, November 15, 2025 | 7–10 PM📍 BEYOND THE STREETS | 434 N La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90036RSVP: rsvp@beyondthestreets.comSHEPARD FAIREY: OUT OF PRINT will be on view Wednesday–Sunday, 11 AM–6 PM through January 11, 2026 | Free Entry@obeygiant @beyondthestreetsart

Last week was an exciting one in Berlin. On Thursday, Shepard Fairey opened his exhibition “Photo Synthesis” at Fotografiska. The show traces his creative journey, from early wheat-paste street pieces and screen printing to digital collage and new works made specifically for this exhibition. It highlights how photography has continually inspired and shaped his artistic evolution, bringing together defining works alongside new creations that continue to transform cityscapes.The evening began with a performance by Berlin-based garage duo Cava, followed by a Q&A with Shepard Fairey hosted by Lodown Magazine’s editor-in-chief, and longtime friend, Sven Fortmann. After exploring the impressive Fotografiska building and the exhibition itself, the night closed with a DJ set by Shepard Fairey.With a mild hangover but high spirits, we gathered again the next evening at the OBEY Art Space to celebrate a 30-year friendship between Shepard Fairey’s OBEY and Thomas Marecki’s Lodown. Their shared roots in skate, surf, and street culture, a mix of activism, DIY creativity, and freedom, shaped a generation and continue to inspire today. From Cold War West Berlin to 1990s Southern California, their work has always carried a restless urge to disrupt and connect.“Today, those signals are fractured. The Pax Americana has crumbled, elites have failed, and trust has decayed.
 A reset is no longer optional. It must come from below, through art, through voices unafraid, through new networks of resistance and connection.”A special print and accompanying tees were created for the occasion. Both are now available at Fotografiska and online via Lodown.Pictures by Tilman Kerber and Julia Schoierer
