Susan Philipsz

She records herself singing a cappella versions of songs which are replayed over a public address system in the gallery or other installation.

[3] Philipsz predominantly creates sound installations using recordings of her own voice that are played in specific geographical sites to "heighten the visitor's engagement with their surroundings while inspiring thoughtful introspection.

"[3] Her 1998 work "Filter", consisting of versions of songs by Nirvana, Marianne Faithfull, Radiohead and The Velvet Underground, has been played at a bus station and at a Tesco supermarket.

[19] Developed for documenta, Study for Strings (2012) riffs on an orchestral piece composed in 1943 at the Theresienstadt concentration camp for musicians there.

For her recording, Philipsz redacted the parts for all the instruments except one cello and one viola, leaving plangent silences between those two players' scattered notes.

[24] This piece titled We Shall Be All draws from Chicago's labor history, specifically the 1886 Haymarket Affair and the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), also known as the Wobblies.

In addition to her MCA exhibition, she presented her 2002 work Pledge at the Jane Addams Hull House Museum, located on the University of Illinois at Chicago campus.

[29] In 2010, she won the prestigious Turner Prize for a sound installation that features her singing three versions of a Scottish lament.

[30] She received the £25,000 prize at a ceremony at Tate Britain that was disrupted by protests over the British Government's educational cuts.
