Friedrich Andreoni
Friedrich Andreoni (*1995) grew up between Italy and the Middle East.
In 2020, he graduated from Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin and, since 2018, has been a member of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes (German Academic Scholarship Foundation). From 2020 to 2022, he was awarded a DAAD scholarship (German Academic Exchange Service), allowing him to pursue his research at the Sound Department of the School of The Art Institute of Chicago. In 2022 Andreoni was the only visual artist to receive a special mention at the Pontifical Academy of Virtuosi del Pantheon Prize of the Vatican City, and in 2023, he won the Ducato Art Prize in the Academy section. In 2024, he inaugurated a series of public space installations entitled Arco, Arché, Archetipo as part of the program of Pesaro Italian Capital of Culture 2024.
Friedrich Andreoni was recently one of the first artists-in-residence at Museo Novecento in Florence and completed the Meisterschüler program with Turner Prize-winning artist Susan Philipsz at HfBK Dresden, Germany.
At the beginning of 2025, Andreoni will present his solo exhibition at the Château de Fontainebleau, featuring his recent video project Sometimes (2024), commissioned and created in collaboration with the Fondazione Claudia Cardinale. The work explores the underground archaeology of Fontainebleau’s ancient aqueduct through sound and moving images. In the same year, Andreoni will be an artist-in-residence at Alchemilla in Bologna and present his solo show at the Caspar David Friedrich Zentrum in Greifswald, Germany.
His works are part of public and private collections.
