Invitation
Artist Talk: Sebastian Stadler
Art Vontobel invites you to an upcoming Artist Talk, on March 20, 2026 at our headquarters in Zurich, held on the occasion of the newly opened exhibition Drift, featuring the work of Collection artist Sebastian Stadler. The exhibition brings earlier and recent works into dialogue, tracing the artist’s development and revealing how ideas and creative processes evolve across different bodies of work.
We invite you to visit the exhibition and meet the artist, who will offer insight into his ongoing practice and latest projects, as well as his philosophical engagement with artificial intelligence—both as a collaborative tool and in terms of its impact on our visual understanding, and how it can coexist with, and become part of, the classical photographic object.

About the artist
Sebastian Stadler (b. 1988, St. Gallen) studied photography at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and the École cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL). Working with photography and video, the Zurich-based artist challenges habitual ways of seeing and questions our understanding of what is “real.” Blending analogue and digital approaches, Stadler has developed a distinctive conceptual documentary style that poetically brings the mundane to the fore. He is a recipient of the Swiss Art Awards and the Manor Kunstpreis.
