Pendant dix ans à Londres, Geordie Greig a fait partie du petit cercle d’amis privilégiés qui rencontraient régulièrement Lucian Freud pour un petit déjeuner au restaurant Clarke, sur Kensington Church Street. Autour d’une tasse de thé et des journaux du matin, Lucian Freud se remémorait des épisodes de sa vie passée et parlait d’art. C’était ainsi devenu le salon privé de Lucian Freud.Par le prisme de ces souvenirs kaléidoscopiques, Geordie Greig fait ressurgir les histoires qui ont jalonné l’existence de Lucian Freud : la façon dont il est parvenu à échapper à la capture par les Nazis ; ses disputes avec son frère Clement, homme politique ; la haine de sa mère ; les séances de poses pour les portraits de David Hockney et de la reine d’Angleterre ; son évocation de Velasquez et pourquoi il estimait qu’il était le plus grand des peintres...

Summary:
Equated with notions of public interaction, the term "participation" is often used very loosely, especially within the contexts of new media and innovation research. Among a recent generation of artists and designers working in new media, there is an increasing need to work across disciplines and domains in ways that enable end users to contribute content, form and structure. These artists are currently developing new parameters in creative collaboration and participation in order to meet the specific working methods and processes required by new media. Participation Is Risky illustrates how interesting participative practices and results are typically characterized by the "risky" confrontation between the differences of disciplines and perspectives. While their work will have no fixed form, this study proposes that artists who engage in participative practices must take the risk of abandoning their traditional roles and evolve through participatory collaboration.
