Laure Prouvost wins the £25,000 Turner prize:

For her new work Wantee commissioned with Grizedale Arts for inclusion in Schwitters in Britain at Tate Britain and for her two-part installation for the Max Mara Art Prize for Women, resulting from a residency inItaly and presented in collaboration with the Whitechapel Gallery.  Her unique approach to filmmaking, often situated within atmospheric installations, employs strong story telling, quick cuts, montage and deliberate misuse of language to create surprising and unpredictable work.

Her first solo show in the United States opens at the New Museum in February.
