In the latest episode of the ArtReview Podcast, musician and artist Jack White engages in conversation with Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, discussing topics such as his visual art endeavors, Detroit, upholstery, and errors. His exhibition, 'These Thoughts May Disappear,' is currently showcased at Newport Street Gallery in London and will be available until September.

The creative influences stem from the Cass Corridor neighborhood in Detroit and its 1970s art scene. Renowned for his work with The White Stripes and as a solo artist, producer, and head of Third Man Records, White's podcast episode is hosted by Alexander Leissle, with audio editing by Charlie Duffield and music design by Iona Smith.
