Kurt Cobain's Ashes To Be Smoked

Australian artist Natascha Stellmach is claiming that she will smoke the ashes of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in a spliff as part of an art exhibition.

Kurt Cobain's ashes were stolen from Courtney Love in May. In a statement Stellmach claimed she had "acquired" the ashes, and would smoke them as part of the Set Me Free exhibition at Berlin's Wagner + Partner gallery.

The smoking of the ashes will take place at what is being billed as the "final act" of the exhibition, which climaxes on October 11.

Stellmach is claiming that the act will symobillically "set free" Cobain from the media circus.

The smoking will be one of various acts undertaken by artists as part of the exhibition involving the dead.

Danish artist Marco Evarissti plans to feed death row inmate Gene Hathorn to goldfish as part of the show.

The claim of ashes ownership has aroused suspicion among fans, who have posted messages online voicing scepticism that the remains are in fact those of the late singer/guitarist.

Asked how she came to have Cobain's ashes, let alone smoke them, Stellmach told the magazine Artworld: "That's confidential and kind of magic. They came to me. And I am setting him free."

fucked up people...jesus fuck

If it remains hanging vertically during the attempt, and you succeed, then yes good sir.

No shit man, that's just disrespectful. Smoking the ashes of a famous person's corpse will not pass their creativity on to you, silly artist chick.

I wouldn't mind having my ashes smoked? Kind of lame that she jacked them, or someone did for her. And it's not a waste of weed if it get's you high? I dunno it's just a publicity act so her shit sells and it's media coverage and threads like these on the interweb that make no names famous.

She probably isn't trying to smoke the ashes to like get his spirit or some shit. it's called performance art, where someone does something symbolic to make you think about it's meaning. Part of the performance may be is her lieing about even having his ashes and getting this coverage. Ever see Alex Grey's performance art? at first your like why would he sit with his wife in a cross full of apples surrounded by candles under the angel of death with the sign of infinity in it's arms for 3-4 hours. But it means something.

And I bet courtney love sold the ashes to some freak-o for junk.
