January 11 – March 3, 2013. Kit Schulte Contemporary Art Berlin | Curated by Kit Schulte & Agnes Hoffmann. This group exhibition celebrates the art of fantastic and delusional ideas. Natascha Stellmach hit the headlines in 2008 when she invited the public to join her in smoking the ashes of Kurt Cobain, which resulted in a massive media response.

I AM NOT INTERESTED IN REALITY | BERLIN

November 1, 2012 by nataschastellmach

November 2 – 30, 2012. Wagner + Partner Berlin in association with The European Month of Photography. Following her successful participation at dOCUMENTA(13), Australian artist Natascha Stellmach’s new work tackles fear and intimacy, themes the artist consistently places under her scurrilous lens. Photographic prints which are scans of grotesque worry dolls that the artist has made, become adult totems to project fears onto and embody narcissism, failure, prejudice and murder. An installation involving an artist book encloses a dark erotic tale […]

PICA SALON | PERTH

June 16, 2011 by nataschastellmach

As a response to our desire for answers and absolutes, the work-on-paper Artist Statement is a framed envelope with Stellmach’s handwritten text (“That’s confidential and kind of magic”) imprinted onto a black wax seal. Inside the sealed envelope is a personal message from the artist. Or is there? Opening the envelope destroys the artwork and renders it worthless on the art market. The work was produced as part of Stellmach’s major project, Complete Burning Away – The Ashes of Kurt […]
