Will Kurt Cobain be smoked in a spliff?
Although there is little discussion of this in the media in the past tense, there is also nothing indicating that she didn't go through with it for any reason. At least a couple sources do speak of the event in the past tense, so there is every reason to believe that she did, indeed, smoke Kurt.

Background:
The smoking of the ashes will take place at what is being billed as the "final act" of the "Set Me Free" exhibition at Berlin's Wagner + Partner gallery, which climaxes on October 11.
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."

Settlement details:
As reported by a major mainstream news source. To settle "YES" the artist must keep up the claim of smoking the ashes of Kurt Cobain during the performance and until the end of the exhibition. This is regardless any lack of real evidence or proof. If she admits afterwards (after the close of the exhibition) to not have smoked the ashes of Kurt Cobain, it won't change the settlement of this market.
If she does not perform the announced smoking or does not claim to be smoking Kurt Cobain's ashes any longer, the question settles "NO".

goat: date as passed. Should be settled as no kruijs: goat's settlement request is wrong. no conditions as described in the settlement details seem to be met to justify a "no" settlement. "no reports" in this case must be interpreted as "she did not change her claim, the performance was held", so it is a "yes" settlement. kruijs: Some reports are available describing the situation in past tense.
Natascha Stellmach has used the supposed rest of the composer of "Smells like teen spirit" within an exhibition of name "I just wanted you to love"

Kudos to German artist Natascha Stellmach who allegedly smoked the ashes of grunge icon Kurt Cobain as part of a weekend art exhibit at the Galerie Wagner and Partner in Berlin
