Ryan Gander's "Never Has There Been Such Urgency, Or the Eloquent and the Gaga" is an air-dropped aid parcel, made from polythene barrels and nylon webbing, suspended from a tree by a conical parachute. The parcel contains items from Gander's personal collection relating to a ‘disparity between research based practices and production based practices; the polarity between the conceptual significance of the object as carrier; and the gulf between learning to speak with great articulation and eloquence and the incoherency of stuttering and stammering a chain of unrelated words at great volume’. The contents of the aid parcel are listed on a metal plaque nearby. Looking south-southeast.
