"I Don't Know. The Weave of Textile Language" is a project composed of three parts: a survey of this work at the Whitechapel Gallery (until 14 december 2014) which focuses on Tuttle's use of fabric and textiles from 1967 to 2014; a book conceived in close collaboration with the artist; and a specially commissioned sculpture in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern.
This is the largest sculpture that Tuttle ever made, though the artist stresses that his concern is with scale rather than size. Like all of his work, it represents a determined engagement with the space that it occupies. The hanging structure incorporates three fabrics manufactured for the project by textile mills in Surat, India, in each case combining man-made and natural fibres to achieve the colour and textures specified by the artist.

Richard Tuttle was born in 1941 in New Jersey. He lives and works in the United States.
