Susan Philipsz wins the 2010 Turner Prize for Contemporary Art
The Scottish artist is the first person to win the £25,000 award for a sound installation. Lowlands is a recording of Philipsz singing 16th century laments which she then plays in unusual locations, including supermarket aisles and a series of bridges over the Clyde in Glasgow. The Turner Prize, which was set up in 1984, is awarded to a British artist under the age of 50 and is "intended to promote public discussion of new developments in contemporary British art".
