“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
