The winner, [[Gillian Wearing]], showed a video ''60 minutes of Silence'' (1996), where a group of actors were dressed in police uniforms and had to stand still for an hour (occasional surreptitious scratching could be observed).

A drunken [[Tracey Emin]] walked out of a live Channel 4 discussion programme, presented as part of the coverage of the award. The discussion was chaired by [[Tim Marlow]] and also included [[Roger Scruton]], [[Waldemar Januszczak]], [[Richard Cork]], [[David Sylvester]] and [[Norman Rosenthal]].<ref>Clare Longrigg, [https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/1997/dec/04/20yearsoftheturnerprize.turnerprize1 ''Sixty Minutes, Noise: by art's bad girl''], ''The Guardian'', 4 December 1997.</ref> Emin wrote about the incident in her 2005 book ''Strangeland'', describing her shock at reading ''[[The Guardian]]'' writeup the following day.<ref>Barry Didcock, [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4156/is_20051016/ai_n15709349/ ''A harrowing self-portrait'']{{dead link|date=January 2017}}, ''Sunday Herald'', 16 October 2005.</ref>
