Andreas 'Elvis'
Schlaegel

Berlin-based Andreas
Schlaegel presents an achievable lifestyle elite. Influenced
by high-class German design, the affordable luxury of TV commercials,
and mass-market individuality of Ikea culture, Schlaegel’s
great expectations are inherently flawed. Previously shown in
London in the Saatchi Gallery’s New Labour exhibition,
his DIY interior décor reinvented status symbol trendiness
with kitchen sponges, toilet paper, quick-dry cement, and good
old-fashioned deep fried chips. For his show at Vilma Gold,
Schlaegel tackles lad-ism full on. Nothing’s more stag
weekend dreamy than snarling yob verbal abuse, a classic camping
trip wank-fest, topped off with a Vegas raunchy Elvis impersonation.
It’s hairy-chest baseness made FHM desirable. Hear him
roar.
