Jay-Z has displayed artwork for his new album Magna Carta Holy Grail in Salisbury Cathedral.
Rapper Jay-Z has placed artwork for his forthcoming album, Magna Carta Holy
Grail, next to the 1215 Magna Carta in Salisbury Cathedral.
The record, which is released on Saturday, was announced in
a TV advert in mid-June. The artwork, which depicts two statues and
the rapper's name struck out in black, now sits next to one of the four
copies of the historic document.
The installation was announced on Jay-Z's own website, Life+Times,
where you can see more photos, and will be on show in the Cathedral
throughout July.
Dean of Salisbury the Very Revd June Osborne told the Salisbury
Journal that she was "delighted" Jay-Z had chosen the
Cathedral to display his artwork.
She added: "Jay Z is creating a huge awareness of this historic document
and its modern significance to a huge audience ... We hope to welcome many
of his fans here this summer to see the artwork".
Magna Carta holy grail will be released early to one million users of a Samsung phone app on Thursday, before going on general release on Saturday.
