Award winning Berlin based artist Natascha Stellmach is set to smoke Kurt Cobain's cremated ashes,Cobain's ashes will be rolled into a joint to be smoked at the completion of the exhibition.
Stellmach somehow acquired the ashes of Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain (when asked how she got them she said "That's confidential and kind of magic. They came to me. And I am setting him free”), and has transformed the grunge icon’s remains into an installation investigating suicide and the power of desecration.Stellmach's work comprises a "death cycle" of five pieces, and the conclusion presents a joint containing Cobain's ashes, which is held in an antique case engraved with the work's title (seen above.)


Set Me Free is on until October 11, at Gallerie Wagner + Partner, Berlin. More at galerie-wagner-partner.com
