Framed

I did not get a chance to see Stuart Haygarth's 'Framed' installation at the V&A in the flesh, but i have been looking closely at it the images. Haygarth is famous for his brilliant found object lamp shades involving party poppers, spectacles and old plastic bottles. But 'framed' is very different, using new, highly painted sections of picture frame to clad a section of staircase. I think it is impressive in scale and the way the light affects the surface is interesting but i just don't quite get it. Haygarth says he has tried "tried to create a work akin in 3D graffiti on a traditional staircase reminiscent of the yellow brick road in 'the wizard of Oz'" but it does not evoke or present this. The key to Haygarth's work for me has always been that the materials have an inbuilt narrative, tell a story, have a history. Party poppers collected from the Millennium celebrations were obviously fired in a frenetic atomosphere, but when calmly and orderly suspended they become something very different. I think the V&A just lacks some of the usual emotion, but that may not come through in the photos alone.
Did anyone see the show?
