Friedrich Andreoni: This all sounds
Friedrich Andreoni acts as an archaeologist of past and future histories. He often works in situ, making memories and (forgotten) stories of specific places and people tangible. Similar to the excavation of earth and sand, Andreoni's keen eye uncovers the forms and materials of everyday life layer by layer, thus opening up new approaches to our material and immaterial world.
In his first institutional solo exhibition in Germany, sound works meet sculpture, drawing, film and ready-mades, which in turn seem to transform into sound at the same moment. The themes of reminiscence, potentiality, spirituality and imagination explored in Andreoni's artistic practice extend across the four rooms of the Caspar David Friedrich Centre. The rooms are flooded with sound and connected with each other.

Friedrich Andreoni (*1995) grew up in Italy and the Middle East and now lives between Germany and Italy. His cross-media artistic work includes sound, sculpture, drawing, installation, performance and video.
In 2020 he completed his studies in Fine Arts (Sculpture) at the weißensee kunsthochschule berlin. He then completed a two-year master's programme as a DAAD scholarship holder and undertook an artistic research residency at the Sound Department of the School of The Art Institute of Chicago. Andreoni honed his artistic skills as a master student of Turner Prize winner Susan Philipsz at the Dresden University of Fine Arts from 2022 to 2024. During his studies, Andreoni was an active member of the German National Academic Foundation from 2018 to 2023.
Most recently, he was one of the first artists-in-residence at the Museo Novecento in Florence. He then took part in a studio residency at the historic Palazzo Vizzani Lambertini Sanguinetti in Bologna, which was followed by an exhibition in which the relationship between sound, light and space recalled the palace's storied past. Andreoni was also the first visual artist to be honoured with a special mention at the Pontifical Academy of Virtuosi of the Pantheon in the Vatican and won the Ducato Art Prize in the ‘Academy’ section in 2023.
His exhibitions include a series of installations in public spaces created as part of the Italian Capital of Culture 2024 Pesaro programme and a solo exhibition at Galerie Met in Berlin, which was shown during Berlin Art Week 2024.
At the beginning of 2025, another solo exhibition took place at the Château de Fontainebleau and the Château de Nemours in France in cooperation with the Fondazione Claudia Cardinale. At the invitation of curator Francesco Bonami, Friedrich Andreoni will take part in the 18th Quadriennale di Roma from October 2025 to January 2026. He will also take part in the upcoming edition of BIENALSUR - the International Biennial of Contemporary Art of South America - by invitation. His works are in public and private collections.
