You are invited to participate in a unique interaction with artist and life coach Daniel Nevers at the SFAC Gallery Window at 155 Grove Street. Sitting on chairs on the sidewalk in front of Nevers' exhibition, you will face the artist's work while he sits directly behind you, facing Grove Street. Back to back, you will engage in an intimate, 20-minute life-coaching session as you explore the relationship between the public presentation of self and the revelation of private inner thoughts.

By engaging with you on a personal level as you view the work, the artist does not attempt to hide the presence of an agenda but instead hopes to aid in a temporary shift in perception. Nevers will activate the viewing of his installation as a lens to reveal the ways in which we construct our own realities. Though there is sure to be an element of humor, Nevers also proposes a sincere offering in an artificial context. As the sessions will be held on a public sidewalk, passers-by are encouraged to watch and listen.
