Concerning War was a project with a multi-faceted format including an exhibition, a series of conversations, lectures, and workshops, as well as a publication that consider how the issue of war was reflected upon in contemporary artistic practice. The exhibition entitled Soft Target. War as daily, first-hand Reality (BAK, Utrecht, 06.11.–18.12.2005), posed the question as to whether art can provide a probing, radical impression of war as a daily, first-hand reality. Can art represent war? Can critical artistic practice convey the very experience of war? Undercurrents, a series of discursive and performative activities in the context of Concerning War, took this as a starting point and extended the question further: What position do artists and intellectuals take toward the subject of war in their work?
