Nirvana
by

The Fader is reporting that the Seattle Art Museum has launched a new exhibit focused on the late frontman of Nirvana. Titled Kurt, the exhibit which began last week, will:

…explore the ways in which the grunge movement's most iconic figure continues to influence modern artists from a multitude of disciplines. The works on display run the gamut from the literal--a sculpture by Joe Mama-Nitzberg and Marc Swanson made from spun glass tinsel called "angel hair" and dried sprigs of baby's breath (a sort of tactile "Heart Shaped Box" shoutout)--to the more abstract, like Gillian Wearing's silent video featuring the artist dancing to Nirvana's "Come as You Are" and Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive." Most haunting, perhaps is Alice Wheeler's eerie, color-saturated photograph of a young homeless man who could, for all outward appearances, be the second coming of the reluctant idol himself.

You can find more details on the Art Museum's website.
