Joseph has recently completed designing a label for a mezcal liquor for Betts and Scholl, the sommelier Richard Betts (of The Little Nell in Aspen), and Miami Beach art collector Dennis Scholl.  Betts hunts down the quality vines and Scholl procures artists to design the labels. The company has released a total of seven vintages of wine since 2003.

On Thursday June 12,  Betts & Scholl announced the release of its first ever distilled liquor: a mezcal called Sombra, that 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.”

Pamela Joseph exhibited in two shows, Insatiable Streams, at BS 1 Contemporary Art Center, Huan Tie Art Zone and Zero Field Art Center, 798 Art Zone, in Beijing, China.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.

Pamela Joseph announces the publication of a new paperback version of The Hundred Headless Women. The Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University and MA Nose Studios, Aspen, Colorado, jointly published a hand-made, limited edition artist book by Pamela Joseph. In 2006, Joseph’s book, The Hundred Headless Women, was exhibited at the National Art Museum of China along with other recent paintings and drawings.

The Hundred Headless Women artist book has been purchased by numerous private and public collections including the National Art Museum of China, The New York Public Library, The British Library, and Henry Schein Inc., a Fortune 500 company.
