Jack White’s Debut Art Exhibition, THESE THOUGHTS MAY DISAPPEAR, to take place on 29 May 2026 at London’s Newport Street Gallery, the acclaimed exhibition space founded by Damien Hirst.
The exhibition marks the first opportunity for the public to encounter Jack White’s visual art in a dedicated gallery context. Much of White’s visual work has remained private, yet his design sensibility has permeated the broad creative ecosystem of Third Man Records, the record label he founded in 2001. THESE THOUGHTS MAY DISAPPEAR brings together a dynamic selection of White’s assemblage sculptures, furniture pieces, and interactive constructions, largely forged from reclaimed materials, hardware store conveniences, and industrial remnants. THESE THOUGHTS MAY DISAPPEAR, arranged in association with @heni , runs from 29 May – 13 September at Newport Street Gallery, 1 Newport St, London SE11 6AJ.

American artist Bruce Nauman began making neon works in 1965, calling them “signs.” Inspired by billboards and advertisements common during the consumer revolution of the 1960s, they often use text and linguistic play, reflecting Nauman’s interest in how meaning is shaped and distorted through language and display.

Conceived by Antoni Gaudí as a “Bible in stone”, the Sagrada Família has remained under construction for more than 140 years, and is still shaped by Gaudí’s original vision today. Its tallest tower, reaching 172.5 metres, is expected to be completed in 2026.

How did a simple American flag become one of the most expensive and debated images in modern art? 🇺🇸
In 1954, Jasper Johns woke from a dream and painted a flag using bed sheets, newspaper, wax, and oil paint. In Cold War America, the symbol was so familiar it had become invisible, but Johns made it strange again, questioning not just its meaning, but how any symbol holds meaning at all.
🎬 Discover more about Jasper Johns and his radical rethinking of the familiar in our HENI Talks film. Link in bio.
