Explore the process behind curating TheBookOfHOV at BKLYNlibrary, and the art of chronicling the life and influence of Jay-Z 🎤
“I’m so far ahead of my time, I’m ’bout to start another life, look behind you, I’m ’bout to pass you twice,” read the Jay-Z lyrics plastered across the recent facelift of the limestone facade at the Brooklyn Public Library’s monumental Central Branch. Two Fridays ago, crowds flocked to the northern edge of Prospect Park for, a tribute to one of the borough’s most beloved artistic exports.
SCHATZBERG: It’s just that much more of a responsibility to bring that story and that experience to life. I really applaud the people involved who were at the center of Jay’s world who helped to shape the different narrative threads and bring this story to life in his honor—versus having Jay produce it and direct it himself, which would’ve also, I’m sure, been amazing, but there’s sort of a difference. This was authored by the community he’s worked with, he’s influenced, he’s touched.
RAJAGOPAL: How did you incorporate the music into the library, which is obviously meant to be a quiet space? SCHATZBERG: Each of the rooms is associated with a different theme, whether that’s philanthropy, business, musical influence, or transcending culture. And the objects correspond to the narrative explored in that room. Let me explain this as something that it’s not: the exhibition is not chronologically told from the early life of Jay to today.
