About Friedrich Andreoni
Friedrich Andreoni is an Italian-German artist born on the verge of the last century who grew up between the Middle East and Europe. He works across media including sculpture, sound, installation, performative acts, and video, operating independently around the world. Andreoni studied with Hannes Brunner & Ulrike Mohr (Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee), Susan Philipsz (Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden) and participated in an exchange program at Chelsea College of Art & Design in London. He then moved to the United States in 2020, to attend a Master in Fine Arts with focus on Sound at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, for which he had been awarded a fellowship from the DAAD and the Art Institute of Chicago. Andreoni has been member of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes since 2018. Andreoni’s work has been shown and presented internationally including Chicago, Berlin, London, Rome, Athens, Malmö, Zagreb and Abu Dhabi. His recent work SHIFT (2021), was presented within the partner program of the 4th Chicago Architecture Biennial: The Available City. Andreoni currently resides and works between Chicago, USA and Berlin, Germany.
