Jack White takes first visual art exhibition to London

Musician Jack White is set to debut his first major visual arts exhibition, titled 'These Thoughts May Disappear,' at Damien Hirst’s Newport Street Gallery in London. Running from May 29 to September 13, 2026, the show features a diverse array of sculptures, interactive installations, and furniture design that White characterizes as "hardware store art." The collection draws heavily from his background in upholstery and carpentry, incorporating found objects and industrial materials like resins and epoxies.

This exhibition marks a significant crossover for the former White Stripes frontman, transitioning his established creative identity from the music industry into the high-profile contemporary art world. By securing a venue as prestigious as Newport Street Gallery and collaborating with HENI, White positions his practice—rooted in the Detroit Cass Corridor tradition—within a professional institutional framework, challenging the boundaries between celebrity hobbyism and serious artistic endeavor.
