smoking Kurt Colbain's ashes




Ok this is a weird one, and for the record i dont know how she acquired the ashes, but its definitely interesting in concept, and as far as open installation / art pranks, its a winner.  Iam generally not a fan of female artists, but iam fairly impressed with this one....



Artist Natascha Stellmach wants a bit of Cobain’s spirit as well because she’s planning on smoking his ashes. 
Ok, try not to choke on your coffee, yes it’s true: Award winning Berlin based artist Natascha Stellmach will smoke the singer’s ashes as part of her latest exhibition, Set Me Free. 
Stellmach has acquired the ashes of Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain, and has transformed the grunge icon’s remains into an installation investigating suicide and the power of desecration.
