German artist Natascha Stellmach says she has former Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain’s cremated ashes, and plans to smoke them along with marijuana in a joint for an art exhibit in Berlin.

Kurt Cobain’s ashes were reportedly stolen from Courtney Love’s home. Courtney Love was said to be distraught and suicidal after her ex-husband’s ashes were taken.

Natascha Stellmach was questioned about how she had acquired the late Kurt Cobain’s cremated ashes and she said: “That’s confidential and kind of magic. They came to me. And I am setting him free.”

Stelmach says smoking the ashes “represents both the completion of the conceptual project and the final act in an exhibition bound to provoke wide public debate.”

Stellmach’s five part exhibition is called “Set Me Free”, with a final act which she claims “will release Cobain from the media circus and into the ether”, reports Uncut.

“Stellmach’s work comprises a ‘death cycle’ of five pieces. The first, a suicide contemplation, entitled It is Black in Here, is a sound piece, written and read by the artist. It was recorded onto a specifically pressed record and is played on a vintage record player. The six-minute poetic meditation on death’s proximity ends with the word ‘gone’.”

“‘Near Death Experience,’ is a text-based work where Kurt Cobain, Adolf Hitler, Diane Arbus and the Brothers Grimm meet in a twilight zone.

Two more works, ‘Black Scan’ and ‘Untitled,’ accentuate the purgatory to which dead celebrities are condemned?a large photographic print has the words “Set me free” written in the ashes of Cobain?preempting the climactic work.
