Excerpts from the Artist Statement:

"I explore notions of duality by investigating the complex relationship between space and perception. My process—combining deliberate technique with spontaneous discovery—uncovers how these elements exist both independently and in perceptual harmony. My recent paintings navigate the balance between control and openness, inviting viewers to explore this interplay for themselves."...
"Selected motifs repeat across the surface in mirrored, reversed, and inverted configurations, reinterpreted through shifts in scale and color. Over time, these forms have evolved as I have focused on a singular motif or explored its transformation into a pattern. This process has allowed me to explore how repetition shapes our perception of surroundings. As shifting layers cause our understanding to oscillate between recognition and reinterpretation, new ways of organizing and experiencing emerge."

THANK YOU Dennis Hollingsworth for your thoughtful review of Recurrent Measures in See I See published on Substack and YouTube!!!

From the Substack/YouTube description of See I See #15:

"More than meets the eye.

"At the suggestion of a friend (*cough* GK *cough*) less than a couple of weeks ago, I went to the opening of Suzanne Song at the Williamsburg Biannual, titled “Recurrent Measures”. With this exhibition, I was able for the first time to get a glimpse of the breadth of Song’s oeuvre. The same applies to the venue, the Williamsburg Biannual, it was my first visit there. After some research and a chance meeting with the architect and co-founder of this institution, I came away with a grasp and respect for both the work of the artist and the emergent institution itself.

"In this video, I take a close look at the paintings on view and I share what I have learned about this strange new arts center that is designed in a way that is diametrically opposed to what we’ve become used to in the art world as standard procedure. Both artist and institution requires us to slow down, a stark contrast to the accelerant of where society and technology is taking us today. Along the way, we touch upon Dansaekwha, Williamsburg’s Domino urbanism, architecture, prestidigitation and where geometric painting might evolve to today."

RECURRENT MEASURES
SUZANNE SONG
May 14 – August 22, 2026
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 14th, 5-8PM

The Williamsburg Biannual and Gallery Baton are pleased to present "Recurrent Measures," a solo exhibition by Suzanne Song, featuring a new body of pumice paintings, shaped canvases, and two site-specific installations.

“Recurrent Measures brings together works that return to one another across my practice,” Song explains. “Ideas reappear in different forms, and the development is not linear. The exhibition follows these repeated adjustments.”

Since 2011, the pumice series has been an iterative exploration of space, materiality, surface, and edge. By building the surface with coarse pumice medium, Song sets a real shadow against a painted one. The two never quite align. A limited monochromatic palette focuses attention on compositions that quietly fold, unfold, shift, and remain unfixed.

The exhibition unfolds across multiple levels. From the entry, visitors first encounter both installations from afar: Intercession, a window piece in which Song’s pleat-like forms engage the transparent and reflective qualities of glass under changing light, and Blank, a trompe-l’œil installation on the lower level that alternately reads as two and three dimensional. Inside, Bends, a large painting of two opposing forms created over three years (2020–2023), anchors the exhibition, while earlier formative works are presented in the upper-level gallery.

Visually reminiscent of Op Art and Minimalism but rooted in trompe-l’œil, Song’s work poses a basic question: Is seeing really knowing? The inquiry echoes George Berkeley’s esse est percipi and John Berger’s assertion in Ways of Seeing that “seeing comes before words.”
