• Philip Gladstone's "We're Better Than This" appropriates the nude from Horace Bristol's iconic U.S Navy photograph "The Naked Gunner, Rescue at Rabaul, 1944" and incongruously places Bristol's Airman in a vintage, now obsolete phone booth on a littered 'planet', embellished with references to Coca-Cola, Warhol's Campbell's Soup can and his Brillo box — all composed as a visual parable for our uncertain times, with a nod to the comforting, magical imagery of Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince"
