Pamela Joseph's Sex Machine, after Duchamp's The Bride, was exhibited this December, 2008 at Miami Art Basel in Francis M. Naumann Fine Art’s booth. For the second year, Joseph is in The Small is Beautiful show currently at Flowers Gallery on Madison Avenue in New York City. In December 2007, Joseph was in a group show at Francis M.

 A number of exhibits from Pamela Joseph's Sideshow of the Absurd were featured in Curious, Mysterious and Strange: Secrets of the Sideshow at artspace, a contemporary art center in Shreveport, LA, this past summer. The exhibition commemorated the dark and mysterious - taboo - aspects of the Circus Sideshow. Download a Press Release.
 Joseph recently completed designing a label for Sombre, a mezcal liquor for Betts and Scholl, the sommelier Richard Betts and Miami Beach art collector Dennis Scholl. Betts hunts down the quality vines and Scholl procures artists to design the labels. Scholl announced the release of its first distilled liquor, commenting that Sombre will be accompanied by one of the industry’s most unorthodox pieces of label art yet. The image, produced by Joseph as part of the Aspen-based art collective WKRPinc is an abstraction of a Mexican soft-core comic — a figure that Scholl merrily explains, “looks like turtles humping.”
 In 2007 Joseph exhibited in two shows in Beijing, China: Insatiable Streams, at BS 1 Contemporary Art Center, Huan Tie Art Zone and Zero Field Art Center, 798 Art Zone. The first exhibit was in honor of the 10th anniversary of The Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University. The second exhibition, Dialectic Places, was at the National Art Museum of China. Curated by James Surls and Liu Xiaochun, the show was a joint exchange of Chinese and American artists.
The artist also announces the recent publication of a new paperback version of The Hundred Headless Women. In 2006 a hand-made, edition was jointly published by The Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University and MA Nose Studios, Aspen, Colorado. The volume was on exhibit at the National Art Museum of China along with recent paintings and drawings in the 2007 show.
