selected works 2017-2022
Friedrich Andreoni is an Italian-German artist born on the verge of the last century, who grew up between the Middle East and Europe. Andreoni works across multiple media including sculpture, sound, installation, performative acts, and video, operating independently around the world. His artistic approach gained shape under the influence of Hannes Brunner, Susan Philipsz, Ulrike Mohr and artists from the Raster Media group (aka Raster Noton). He recently spent a brief research time in the United States (2020-22) for which he was awarded fellowships from the DAAD and the Art Institute of Chicago. During this time he also worked with ESS (Experimental Sound Studio Chicago), which commissioned FOR BEGIN AND END TIMES, a space related performative act for six or more car vehicles in which different car alarms are triggered and activated through low frequencies impulses (30-300 kHz). An acoustic and visual exploration which investigates the untapped potential of chaos before and after an event. Andreoni is a member of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes since 2018. Recently his project SHIFT (2021-22) was presented within the official program of the 4th Chicago Architecture Biennial: The Available City and received a special mention for the Pontifical Vatican Academies Prize – Virtuosi del Pantheon (2022), as the only visual artist among several architecture studios. In 2023 Andreoni received the DucatoPrize Academy Award.
Currently, Friedrich is official Meisterschüler of Turner Prize-winning artist Susan Philipsz in Dresden, Germany. There, he is investigating ways of thinking about space beyond the physical object.
