Magnus Bärtås states, “I believe that art, or rather the impulse to produce art, often comes from not understanding. When today, I look at humourous programmes on television and fail to laugh a single time, not even smile, I become obsessed with the question of why I do not think the programme funny when numerous other people do. Perhaps I do not belong to the target audience. Nor do I believe that there is a consensus about what is humour. But the thing is that in these cases there is no boundary zone. I can hardly understand this humour even theoretically. I am spurred on by this feeling of autism...[This was] the starting point for the exhibition The Conspiracy...: that the world at large had agreed to$a treaty behind one’s back and that you want to communicate to the world around the appalling truth that you have discovered.

The Ars Fennica Award, awarded to Markus Copper in 1999, recognizes high standards of creative work and originality in the visual arts. In speaking about the recipient, Saskia Bos states that this “young and tumultuous artist who is driven by a need to understand the world has to make things himself in order to grasp it better. . . his heavy-handed and sometimes rough sculptures speak to the other senses; they speak of inner fears about refined technologies that we cannot control, about animal urges and mythologies that continue to haunt us in dreams, in books, in movies....”
