Marky Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) 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.”What a fucking idiot Edited October 1, 2008 by markyboy101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Lahey Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 She should snort them, Keith Richards style. Cobain would be a major buzz kill though. A week later this bitch will have a gun in her mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gash Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) It seems she only wants to "set him free from the media circus" in order to make that "same media circus" pay attention to her. Edited October 1, 2008 by Gash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sandman Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 "Thought the sun is gone, I have a light." - should be the tagline, with the irony of:“It's better to burn out than fade away.” ringing in our ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.b Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 You can't smoke ashes... ashes is what have already been smoked I thought I was the only one thinking that. It's interesting either way, I wonder what gave her the idea? I wouldn't be too worried about it really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appetite4illusions Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 How certain is she that she will be smoking the actual Kurt Cobain?It can't be too hard to come up with a bunch of ashes and sell it to some nutcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
