This summer, Los Angeles was mostly seen in London, in what could be called a match between the stars of YBA (Young British Art) and YLA (Young Los Angeles). London played host to a number of Los Angeles artists with a common interest in “Do it yourself-ness” and hip-urban self-reflexivity. Sightings include Delia Brown, Jon Pylypchuck, Evan Holloway, Jason Meadows, and the grandfather of them all, Paul McCarthy. Addresses for your own surf trip to the London scene follow:
