Joseph’s work has been described as “well-executed, powerful, and edgy, combining large-scale work with intricate detail” by The Colorado Council on the Arts, who awarded her a Fellowship in 2001. The Sideshow has also been picked as a “favorite” exhibition by art writers in New Mexico, Colorado and the Midwest for being “funky,” “freaky,” and “fascinating”. Joseph has received numerous awards including a Visiting Artist Fellowship at the American Academy of Rome for Winter 2003. Her work has been internationally exhibited in Berlin and Copenhagen, Paris, Barcelona, and recently in “Open Source” which travelled to the Academy of Fine Art, Beijing, China and Luxun Museum in Shenyang, China. A new body of work, The Adventures of Pussy Marshmallow, was included in the traveling exhibition and catalogue, “Comic Release: Negotiating Identity for a New Generation”. The Sideshow is currently on view at Georgetown University, Gallery 101 Walsh, from January 13-February 22, 2005. Pamela and Max “Pamela Joseph’s Sideshow of the Absurd explores the role and power of women in 21st–century Western society. The exhibition’s title intimates the ultimate meaning of the installation: that the century–old tradition of viewing humans with unusual physical properties as entertainment is not only absurd, but tells far more about the viewers and their culture than the attractions being viewed.” — Barbara Bloemink, Ph.D., Curatorial Direector, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum
