UNUSUAL USE OF A GLIDER PICTURE

For whatever it's worth: Panera Bakery sells their own brand of "light"
cream cheese. The image on the packaging is that of a sailplane
(unidentified) in flight. Perhaps the idea is the connection between
the airiness of the product and that of soaring.

I was in the Glasgow Museum of Modern Art a few months ago. Grayson Perry
is a well known, Turner prize winning potter (and transvestite) from the UK.
The museum has three of his pots, one of which has a picture of a generic
two seat glass glider. The description of the piece in the museum has the
usual pretentious nonsense, but the gist of it was that the pot was dealing
with the shortcomings of men. Unfortunately I can't find a picture on the
web.

Non UK readers may not have heard of Grayson Perry but Google will give you
the low down.

A bit more searching and I've found this.

It's not the pot I saw in Glasgow and it looks like a radio control model
glider judging by the man next to it. But he does seem to have a thing
about gliders, or perhaps the people who fly them.

Images of aircraft appear in a lot of his work. Maybe
his tranny alter-ego, Claire, has higher aspirations....
