<p>Susan Philipsz has won the Turner Prize for her recording of a traditional folk song and said her &#8220;heart&#8221; was with the protesting students whose cries against the cuts could be heard over the award ceremony.</p>
<p>The Glasgow-born artist was handed the £25,000 prize at an event in Tate Britain, central London, and promised to spend some of the money on taking her parents on holiday.</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;It still hasn&#8217;t sunk in yet, I didn&#8217;t want to even think about it.</p>
<p>&#8220;It has been a really great experience being a nominee. It has been overwhelming the wonderful responses I&#8217;ve been getting for the work and I just didn&#8217;t expect that.&#8221;</p>
<p>More than 100 students from arts against cuts, who were holding a sit-in in the gallery in protest at planned changes to student fees, could not be seen by the crowd who gathered to hear Philipsz awarded the prize but their chants of &#8220;No Cuts&#8221; were audible throughout the ceremony.</p>
<p>Tate Director Sir Nicholas Serota acknowledged their presence and said &#8220;all&#8221; were concerned by proposed cuts to arts budgets. He said: &#8220;Art should continue to be accessible to all no matter where you live or indeed whatever your wealth.&#8221;</p>
<p>Philipsz gave them more direct support as she accepted the prize, saying: &#8220;I support artists against the cuts.&#8221;</p>
<p>She recorded three versions of the song, which tells the tale of a man drowned at sea who returns to tell his lover of his death.</p>
<p>It was played under a series of bridges over the River Clyde in her home city of Glasgow before coming to the Tate.</p>
<p>The other nominated artists &#8211; Dexter Dalwood, Angela de la Cruz and The Otolith Group &#8211; each received £5,000.</p>
