"We’ll turn toward abstraction. I predict that Donald Trump is going to win the election and, when people seek some sort of relief valve or means to move forward..."
"... I don’t think they’re going to do that by looking at a bunch of figurative paintings. We’ll need to stare into the blur and ask the biggest possible questions: 'Who are we? What are we? What the hell are we doing?' And those are questions that abstraction, as a mode, posits … I also think we’ll encounter a radical new abstraction. Take Wade Guyton’s [recent] show at Matthew Marks Gallery in New York or Julie Mehretu’s at White Cube in London. These weren’t just shows of paintings on the wall: They moved into the space. [Going forward], the painting itself will surround you."Says the painter Adam Pendleton, 39, answering the question "What will the cultural trends be?," part of a large collection of answered questions in "The T Predictor: What We’ll Be Obsessing Over in 2024/We asked 46 artists, filmmakers, chefs and other creative people to forecast next year’s cultural trends. (Spoiler: We’re all going to be wearing a lot of brown)" (T/ The NYT Style Magazine).
So, I'm with Pendleton. We've got to ask "Who are we? What are we? What the hell are we doing?" Whether staring into an abstract painting — a "blur" or something sharply delineated — will yield any answers or even just "relief," who knows? Is it a "means to move forward"? We're told those Guyton and Mehretu paintings move into our space, and we find ourselves surrounded. And maybe that's how we'll feel, come January 2025.

I like Pendleton's questions in relation to Trump: "Who are we? What are we? What the hell are we doing?" I was just blogging an Atlantic article that examined the old saying "This is not who we are." If it is what we are doing, then you're in denial to say "This is not who we are." Apparently, it is who we are.
