Michael Warren Contemporary (MWC) is pleased to present Radical Beauty – Masks, Veils and Headgear, an exhibit of sculptural reliefs by Pamela Joseph. There will be an opening reception with Pam on Friday, September 24th, 5-8 p.m. We will have concurrent exhibit, In Hi-Fidelity, with new work by Deb Adams-Welles in the Project Space.
Over the last 3 years Pamela Joseph has been creating sculptures of masks and headdresses painted on layers of plexiglass with acrylics and mixed media transfers. The work explores the positive power and celebration of the carnival in our lives:
Over the last 3 years Pamela Joseph has been creating sculptures of masks and headdresses painted on layers of plexiglass with acrylics and mixed media transfers. The work explores the positive power and celebration of the carnival in our lives:
Masks and headdresses are powerful symbols in a wide variety of cultures and groups. By putting on a mask and becoming someone else, the participant enters a sphere that investigates power, identity, and oftentimes gender. Originally inspired by strong women personalities, I began to realize that these “disguises” have a larger significance. As I continued exploring into 2020, and every detail of our lives was overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the masks in turn projected an alternate meaning of protection and resilience. The sculptures became an exploration of beauty as radical thought. Although some of the pieces contain images of shields and helmets, it is the flower elements, those fragile essences that manifest as the resilient warriors on the metaphorical battlefield.
This body of work takes cues from fashion design and features metonyms for cultural resistance to create a celebratory iconography—looking both to the diversity of human cultures and to our shared futures. Drag queens, with their over-the-top make-up and costumes, create masquerades of gender identity that consistently challenge what being feminine means. African artists and tribes have long used masks and apparel to commemorate birth and death in their relationship to the cosmos and to the environment. For the Maya Indians, masks and headdresses were symbols of their gods and a physical way of representing spirits and intimidating their enemies. Mardi Gras Indians create colorfully designed suits and headgear that reflect both their vital musical history and the systemic inequalities that remain prevalent in society. These examples are a few of the inspirations that I drew on to construct the sculptures in “Radical Beauty.” There is no one isolated culture but a blend of spirits that exists
in all of us. ~ Pamela Joseph

Aspen Shortsfest, 2015
PAMELA JOSEPH'S SIDESHOW OF THE ABSURD
a documentary short by
Tina DiFeliciantonio + Jane C. Wagner
–WORLD PREMIERE–
Wheeler Opera House, Aspen, CO
Saturday April 11th, 2015 at 8.45 pm
Having won the Grand Jury Prize in 1997 for their film,
TWO OR THREE THINGS BUT NOTHING FOR SURE,
PAMELA JOSEPH'S SIDESHOW OF THE ABSURD marks
the return of filmmakers Tina DiFeliciantonio + Jane C. Wagner to Aspen Shortsfest.
Logline: Inspired by nostalgia for early 20th-century freak shows, PAMELA JOSEPH'S SIDESHOW OF THE ABSURD is a cinematic exploration of a fantastical exhibition by this internationally recognized artist, who embraces 'difference' with irreverence, humor, and respect for the dignity of 'the other'.
Description: Inspired by nostalgia for early 20th-century carnivals and freak shows, PAMELA JOSEPH'S SIDESHOW OF THE ABSURD is a cinematic exploration of a whimsical and fantastical exhibition by this internationally recognized artist. While the notion of spectacle-driven sideshows typically invoke a repugnant rejection of 'the other', Joseph celebrates 'difference' as a source of strength.
The female, in particular, is provocatively presented as multi-faceted curiosity: idolized mother/lover, vilified sexual predator/prey, and giver/recipient of pleasure and pain. These seemingly incongruous roles are embraced with irreverence, humor and respect for the dignity of 'the other', regardless of gender.
With Joseph's countenance and alter ego enigmatically woven into many of the pieces, audiences are invited to challenge convention, (re)define our role in the world and question our investment in the perception of identity.
SIDESHOW was shot entirely in Colorado (Colorado Springs, Aspen and Carbondale).
