Littleknown Clutched June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 Both art and vandalism. Should we have them in Singapore? Yes. Brings a smile. Should we ban them in Singapore? Yes. Not everything succeed. Part of the fun for the artist is to complete the art and escape the officials. I hope to see more individuals step up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wt_know Supersonic June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 (edited) would be nice if there is a committee to identify walls / streets / anything that is "open" for street art. any artistic person want to express their artistic values can apply from this committee given their mock up in computer or drawing. once approved, can be done on the selected walls/streets/any backdrop and will be removed after few months for change piece they did before for mail box right? that one cannot make it la http://www.streetartutopia.com/ Both art and vandalism.

StefanK Supercharged June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 Banksy - the elusive one. His artworks make plenty of political statements and about the country itself. Authorities consider him a vandal who does graffiti, but the rest of the world sees him as an inspired artist. Banksy His famous works can never be bought unlike conventional artists. No matter the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 Actually art is when the artist has permission to draw on the building's wall from the owner. Also if the owner don't mind on finding out after the deed was done, and do not persecute the culprit. Else it will be vandalism. Very simple clear cut case. So the local case is strictly a case of applying artistic intention on a deed that is deem vandalism in the eye of the law. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee 1st Gear June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 As a creation, Street grafitti will still be an art form even if some countries deemed it as vandalism. The artist however, may have to bear the consequences if he get caught for vandalising charge. So is it art? Yes imho, regardless the legality of it.

Nolicense Turbocharged June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 (edited) This kind of Art is open to one's interpretation. Some may like it while others may not. Unfortunately, the mailbox had plenty coming from the later. i hear that many pple do not like the mailbox art because it kind of made the mailbox look less obvious. pple want to post letter look around the area and tend to mislook the "decorated" mailbox. That is why many pple hate it. this type of "legal vandalism" is very intrusive and inconvenient pple. just like the Bus Ads. darken the windows so much that you just don't know where the bus is at when you are inside and when to alight as you cannot see your bus stop coming or the landmarks you depend on.

Ya.. street art is about spontaneity.. and the transformation of something ordinary and drab, into art that brings an instant smile upon first look.. part of the deal is to be rebellious against the restrictive rules of the day, and getting away with it.. That I think is art, and not something manufactured to please the powers to be (and sooth their egos) to become so sterile like a morgue.... Colorful Singapore? Oxymoron..... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
