Pamela Joseph – Bio

Pamela Joseph is a multi-media artist who has exhibited nationally and internationally, including Paris, Barcelona, Copenhagen and Beijing. In 2003 and 2004 she was a Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome. Joseph’s work has been described as “well-executed, powerful and edgy” by the Colorado Council on the Arts, who awarded her a Visual Arts Fellowship in 2001. She works and resides in Aspen, Colorado.

Her traveling, interactive installation, The Sideshow of the Absurd, has been exhibited at nine Museums and galleries in the United States, garnering outstanding reviews and record-breaking crowds. The show has been picked as a “favorite” exhibition by art writers in Florida, New Mexico, Colorado and the Midwest for being “funky”, “freaky” and “fascinating”. The Sideshow of the Absurd, is currently on exhibit at artspace in Shreveport, LA.

Joseph announces the publication of a paperback version of The Hundred Headless Women. In 2006 The Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University and MA Nose Studios, Aspen, Colorado, jointly published a hand-made, limited edition artist’s book by Joseph, of the same title. The Hundred Headless Women, a wall installation of wood-burned kitchen cutting boards, was originally created for The Torture Museum in The Sideshow of the Absurd. The images are of women in perilous situations, but the heroine is always smiling, and she always survives.

Joseph was in two shows in Beijing in June 2007. The Hundred Headless Women book, along with work from her Postcard Paintings Series were on exhibit at the National Art Museum of China, Beijing. The second exhibit, also in Beijing, was in honor of the 10th anniversary of The Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University. The show, Insatiable Streams was held at the BS 1 Contemporary Art Center and the Li Xinagqun Art Center. Full-color catalogs were published of both shows.

In December 2007, Joseph was in two shows in New York City. A group show at Francis Naumann Fine Arts, Les Demoiselles Revisited, celebrated the 100th anniversary of Picasso’s famous painting. The second exhibit, Small is Beautiful, was at Flowers Gallery on Madison Avenue. Joseph's Collage for Paolozzi's Hedy Lamar, uses a London tart image on an announcement card by Paolozzi, one of the gallery's artists.

Joseph’s work is in numerous public and private collections, including The New York Public Library, MOMA/Franklin Furnace Artist Book Library, The University of New Mexico, Fairfield University, Simmons College, Henry Schein, Inc. and collectors such as Wynn Kramarsky and Barbara Lee.
