Golden staircase: Is it art - or not?

Click HERE

Interesting example for those keen in arts topics...makes for an interesting BANG!....also, it shows how Singapore can be too rigid, too controlled by laws that it inhibits creativity...
If u can still recall a similar example a few years ago on the 'My Grandfather's Road' and 'Press until shiok', compare the two cases....

Note:
role of the arts:
-creativity
-aesthetics, to beautify and decorate
-raise qns to engage public debate
-preserve heritage (something which local artists are in a better position to undertake)
