Some German chick wants to smoke Kurt Cobain.

German artist Natascha Stellmach says to be in possession of the Nirvana frontman’s ashes and will smoke a portion of them in a marijuana joint during an art exhibition in Berlin on October 11.

Kurt ashes were reportedly stolen from the Los Angeles home of the rocker’s widow,Courtney Love, last June–a claim the troubled Love vehemently denies.

When Stellmach was quizzed about how she acquired the ashes, she simply said: “That’s confidential and kind of magic. They came to me. And I am setting him free.”

She 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 entitled Set Me Free, with a final act which she claims “will release Cobain from the media circus and into the ether”, reports Uncut.

When she was asked how she came to acquire the ashes, she said: “That’s confidential and kind of magic. They came to me. And I am setting him free.”

The artist intends to smoke a joint which she claims contains Cobain’s remains in the final act of her work entitled Gone.
