2008年2月23日，继2007岁末压轴大展《软力量：亚洲态度》后，由著名策展人哈罗•施密特和汤马克•文特兰策划的“欧洲态度”群展登陆上海证大现代艺术馆。与《软力量：亚洲态度》着眼于重构东方价值观形成鲜明对比的是，《欧洲态度》的着力点在于西方艺术家眼中的欧洲，展现了在欧盟状态下，欧洲各不同国家以及地域之间的文化价值观。

无论在体制上还是态度上，欧洲都是一个不断扩张的实体，共同的资本主义愿想和市场动力使欧洲团结起来，然而，区域历史的复杂性和由此产生的对财政、社会困难的冷漠，又导致了欧洲的分化。在为各个希望加入欧盟的国家制定一套统一的标准，以及探索多元性、对现代主义各种不同体验作出本地化回应的过程中，文化生产扮演着重要的角色。因此，艺术家也越来越多地承担起煽动和叙述者的角色，评判我们生活工作的方式、以及周边的环境及其影响。《欧洲态度》基于这样一个文化背景，挑选了来自12个国家22位西方艺术家20余件装置、影像、雕塑作品进行国际巡回展，试图更好地让大众了解更为广泛的人类环境。

有趣的是，《欧洲态度》和《软力量：亚洲态度》是去年在波兰国家美术馆展出的群展《亚欧交流》的2个部分，这两个“不同态度”的版块通过具有可比性的相似的艺术展现形式，呈现出了东西方迥异的题材关注、视点及其背后所蕴涵的文化差异。其时，欧洲媒体的热情追捧，也使这个展览在当地反响热烈，收到了非常好的效果。

Co-curated by renowned curators Harro Schmidt and Tomek Wendland, group exhibition European Attitude will be launched at Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art on 23rd, Feb. 2008. In contrast to the finale exhibition of last year’s Soft Power: Asian Attitude, which focuses on the values of the East, European Attitude focuses on the Europe in the eyes of Western artists. It displays cultural values of different countries and regions in Europe within the framework of EU.

Europe is an expanding entity both constitutionally and attitudinally. Europe is unified by common capitalistic desires and market forces, and yet divided by blindness to the complexities of regional history and resulting financial and social poverty. To set conforming criteria for countries wishing to enter the European Union, cultural production plays an important role in its exploration of heterogeneity and through a localised response to differing experiences of modernism. Artists increasingly play the role of the instigator and narrator of social relationships and encounters, assessing the ways in which we live and work, and the circumstances around us that impact on this. Therefore we present the cutting edge practice of 22 artists from 12 different European countries to initiate the discussion on identity of artists within the global political circumstances.

Interestingly, European Attitude and Soft Power: Asian Attitude were two parts of the group exhibition Asia-Europe: Mediation which was exhibited at the National Gallery of Poland last year. Two exhibitions with different attitudes presented the different perspectives of the East and the West and the cultural difference behind. The European media highly appreciated the exhibition, which helped the two exhibitions to win warm reverberation and achieve great success.
