I guess the true artistry happens during the pitch when the artist convinces someone to pay them money to produce this stuff.
I loved the Louise Bourgeois spider and slides, but my personal favourite Turbine Hall piece has been Anis Kapoor's 'Marsyas' (http://db-artmag.com/cms/upload/51/feature/anishkapoor/20_anishkapoor07.jpg), which made fantastic use of the space, was a strangely beautiful thing, and was a genuine spectacle when you walked in. Nothing else seems to have come to terms with the sheer volume of the Turbine Hall.

"Tuttle is hard-pressed to explain his pieces, but he has ventured that it’s to do with text and textile having the same linguistic root. When pushed further, he sets off on a digressive marathon.
It’s impossible to extract any logical summary, but I feel sure that he is not a fraud. To me, Tuttle feels more like a man who has glimpsed something so far beyond our ordinary experience that he hasn’t the language to speak of it, but is determined to discover a way to conjure some instinctive alertness to its truth instead.
Tuttle uses textiles...to open our eyes and our senses and, through them, our ideas and thoughts to wider philosophical meanings. His work is at its most striking when it is at its most fragile, when it seems almost to hold the made and the unmade in lyrical balance. You probably wouldn’t even notice that some of the artworks were even present in the Whitechapel, were it not for the protective cordons. Strands of pale string are laid upon the floor."
