The 'Vessel'

Adventure Van here, with a blog on the "Staircase to nowhere", a structure being built by Thomas Heatherwick. In New York, this large building is said to possibly be able to rival the attraction of the Statue of Liberty. It costed over 150 million USD to build. And... there's no full point. Like most art, it's a visual masterpiece. And it's in New York, which is kind of over saturated in pieces of art, be they murals, statues, or interactive buildings such as this. The question is, what type of art is actually needed anymore. Art is a good thing. But something that blocks pathways, looks somewhat like an eyesore, and is simply unneeded? Can that really be art?

Adventure Van, thinking.
