In 2008, Galerie WAGNER + PARTNER in Vienna exhibited Natascha Stellmach's project, Set me free, a complex exploration of the myth of immortality, based around the alleged Joint containing the ashes of Kurt Cobain. In her upcoming solo show opening on November 5, 2010, Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts will exhibit the full development of this long-running and controversial project where Stellmach has created new videos, text and installation works that interrogate and reflect upon the intense public and mass media response in response to the smoking of the ashes of Nirvana's infamous lead singer.
