展览围绕一个已然没落的商业手段——“空中书写”（sky-writing）展开，艺术家以一位匿名空中写作爱好者偶然留下的飞行图案为起点，在众多拾得文本和图像中穿行，寻找技术在时间轴上留下的不同频段的回响：
第一次世界大战的烟幕启发了一位英国空军少校将商机带到了天空，并于1922年发出了天空写作的第一声自我介绍——“HELLO”；百事可乐公司在十九世纪30-50年代雇佣了一支大规模的宣传飞机队，在激烈的可乐战争中取得成功；在如同留言板一般的天幕下，人们争相写下属于自己的一些陈词滥调；德国人将空中书写视为规避《凡尔赛条约》的另一种手段，通过商业宣传广告中队来秘密训练空军飞行员；智利作家波拉尼奥在《遥远的星辰》中描写了一名神秘扑朔、集杀人凶手与诗人于一身的天空写作者……
政治与世俗、虚构与真实、战争机器和表演装置，几者如同博罗米结般相互环绕纠缠，编织出复调的历史情境；在叙事的螺旋中，又最终回落到“天空签名”这一诗意形象背后的创伤性维度。
张业鸿
张业鸿，1993年出生于广东广州，2015年毕业于中国美术学院，现隐居于粤港澳大湾区，是一位艺术家、策展人和艺术品牌“联合杂货”的创办者。
他擅长运用项目式的叙事方法连结起某个特定的主题，常常以网络或现实中的拾得图像/名词为起点，在不同的事物间建立起超距的关联。通过挪用、戏仿、反讽等手段，继而对日常经验和传统审美经验中的自动化进行反思和拆解，揭露埋藏在诗意表象背后的感知断层和意识形态。
他曾获得2019年现代汽车文化中心第三届“Hyundai Blue Prize年度艺术大奖”，入围2017年上海当代艺术博物馆PSA青年策展人奖，并担任第五届泼先生奖联合策划人。近期个展和个人项目包括：天空签名，拟像空间，北京（即将开幕）；Me memes，无际空间，深圳（2021）；第二自然，SHU GALLERY，深圳（2021）；西湖没有普利欧，三尚当代艺术馆，杭州（2020）；日落笔记，要空间，上海（2019）；金色 绿色 春风沉醉，希帕画廊，北京（2018）；世界尽头协会，样当代艺术空间，厦门（2018）。

From 21 November 2021 to 4 January 2022, Simulacra Space will present Zhang Yehong's solo exhibition, "Sky-writing", featuring video, installation, painting, paper and photographic collage works custom-made by the artist for this exhibition.
The exhibition revolves around a now-defunct commercial tool - "sky-writing" - in which the artist starts with an anonymous sky-writing enthusiast starting with a chance flight pattern left by an anonymous sky-writer, the artist navigates through a multitude of found texts and images, searching for echoes of the different frequencies left by technology on the timeline.
The smoke screen of the First World War inspired a British Air Force major to take business to the skies and in 1922 issued the first introduction to sky-writing - 'HELLO'; PepsiCo employed a large fleet of propaganda aircraft in the 1830s and 1850s to The Germans saw writing in the air as another means of circumventing the Treaty of Versailles, secretly training air force pilots through squadrons of commercial advertising; the Chilean writer Bolaño depicted in Distant Stars a mysterious puzzling skywriter who is both a murderer and a poet ......
The political and the mundane, the fictional and the real, the war machine and the performance apparatus, are intertwined like a Borromean knot, weaving a polyphonic historical situation; in the spiral of the narrative, it eventually comes back to the traumatic dimension behind the poetic image of the "sky-writing.
Zhang Yehong
Zhang Yehong was born in Guangzhou, Guangdong in 1993. He graduated from the China Academy of Art in 2015 and now lives in seclusion in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. He is an artist, curator and founder of the art brand "United Grocery".
He is good at using project-style narrative methods to connect a specific theme, often starting from the found images/nouns in network or reality to establish super-distance connections between different things. Through appropriation, parody, irony and other means, it then reflects and disassembles the automation in daily experience and traditional aesthetic experience, exposing the perception fault and ideology buried behind the poetic representation.
He has won the third "Hyundai Blue Prize of the Year Art Award" of the Hyundai Motorstudio Beijing in 2019, was shortlisted for the Emerging Curators Project of Power Station of Art in 2017, and served as the co-curator of the fifth Pulsasir Prize. His currently solo exhibitions and personal projects include: Sky-writing, Simulated Space, Beijing（opening soon）; Me memes, LANIAKEA, Shenzhen (2021); Second Nature, SHU GALLERY, Shenzhen (2021); West Lake without Perlo, Sanshang Contemporary Art Museum, Hangzhou (2020); Sunset Notes, YELL Space, Shanghai (2019); Golden green charm in spring, Cipa Gallery, Beijing (2018); The Worlds End Association, Modea Contemporary Art Space, Xiamen (2018)
