It's been a little over sixteen years that we've been living in a world without Cobain—sixteen years since we began wrestling with his endlessly complicating life and death. We've learned as much in his absence as we did in his life, which is to say not much at all. And while we've mostly given up on ever figuring him out, it's impossible to forget the Fender Jag he used to rip the shit out of our senses or the hauntingly frail sound of him edging out "The Man Who Sold the World." From photographs of Cobain flying mid-air on stage to the unlikely tributes that have sprung up since that day in 1994, the pieces in Seattle Art Museum's 'Kurt' exhibition take a closer look at the ways our impressions of the man have changed over time and the moments we couldn't shake from our memories even if we wanted to. They are at once loud and quiet, gorgeous and savage. In other words, all the things that he was in his brief 27 years. —Andrew Richdale Catch the show anytime now through September 6th at the Seattle Museum of Art. http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/exhibit/interactives/kurt/default.asp --
