Pimple's Progress
In 1915, British moviegoers voted Fred Evans second only to Charles Chaplin as their favorite film comedian. Appearing as the roguish and anarchic "Pimple," Fred made 200 silent movies between 1910 and 1922, running amok in frantic chases and sending-up current events and fashions. With a rich family heritage in pantomime and music hall, Evans introduced a satirical approach to filmmaking, frequently lampooning the recently introduced feature films. Pimple's burlesques deflated the seriousness of such productions, providing subversive support for audiences adjusting to the the new form. But continual mockery of themes, acting styles and film techniques did not endear him to all. Changing pub...
The Multivoiced Body
Ethnic cleansing and other methods of political and social exclusion continue to thrive in our globalized world, complicating the idea that unity and diversity can exist in the same society. When we emphasize unity, we sacrifice heterogeneity, yet when we stress diversity, we create a plurality of individuals connected only by tenuous circumstance. As long as we remain tethered to these binaries, as long as we are unable to imagine the sort of society we want in an age of diversity, we cannot achieve an enduring solution to conflicts that continue unabated despite our increasing proximity to one another. By envisioning the public as a multivoiced body, Fred Evans offers a solution to the dil...
Public Art and the Fragility of Democracy
Public space is political space. When a work of public art is put up or taken down, it is an inherently political statement, and the work’s aesthetics are inextricably entwined with its political valences. Democracy’s openness allows public art to explore its values critically and to suggest new ones. However, it also facilitates artworks that can surreptitiously or fortuitously undermine democratic values. Today, as bigotry and authoritarianism are on the rise and democratic movements seek to combat them, as Confederate monuments fall and sculptures celebrating diversity rise, the struggle over the values enshrined in the public arena has taken on a new urgency. In this book, Fred Evans...

Frederick Evans, D.D. (Ednyfed)
Excerpt from Frederick Evans, D.D. (Ednyfed): A Memorial WE have no apology to offer for this Memorial. It does not address itself to an unsympathetic mul titude. It is the loving response of a few appre ciative friends to a desire which was freely ex pressed and which is felt to be well considered. It has been prepared by loving hands to aid loving hearts in keeping the memory of a loved one per ennially green. The Chaplet which has thus been woven for the honored brow of him who will hence forth live only in memory, we must leave to speak for itself. However it may lack in artistic perfect ness, it has in it the fragrance of sincerity. The hands that helped in the weaving were as warm and ...
