Author: Jack White
These Thoughts May Disappear is published to accompany a major exhibition of works by the American artist Jack White, opening at Damien Hirst’s Newport Street Gallery on 29 May 2026.The exhibition marks White’s first public showing of his art and includes works made by the artist over the last thirty years, from sculpture and installations to furniture design products. White’s 2015 sculpture The Red Tree will be remade for the exhibition, preserving the original concept of transforming a decaying tree into a striking artwork.Born in Detroit in 1975 and currently living in Nashville, White is an interdisciplinary artist, equally conversant in sculpture and furniture design as he is in music and songwriting. Taking inspiration from both mid-century modern design and local Detroit Cass Corridor artists such as Gordon Newton and Robert Sestok as well as his apprenticeship background in upholstery. White opened his own upholstery shop, Third Man Upholstery, in 1996.While White’s sculpture and upholstery have largely been confined to private work over the past twenty years, he has further explored his design muse via his Third Man Records umbrella. Whether interiors, visuals for print, photography, industrial, film, White designs with purpose, conviction and passion.The publication includes an essay by design critic and curator Deyan Sudjic, former director of the Design Museum, as well as a long-form conversation between White and art critic Hans Ulrich Obrist.
