The recent artistic revival of the process is a direct result of their work through exhibiting their imagery, teaching workshops and extensive research and writings on the subject. The Ostermans have traveled to Ireland, Spain, Italy, Japan and throughout the US with the collodion process, making images with their portable darkrooom. They are represented by Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York City, US. Their work has been highlighted in a number of solo exhibits and in publications, including Paris Photo, and recent issues of Spiegel and Geo. ZOOM magazine will include a feature on Mark's work in the May-June 2007 issue. Mark Osterman currently serves as Photographic Process Historian for the Advanced Residency Program for Photograph Conservation at George Eastman House, International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY. He recently finished editing the 19th c. section of the New Focal Encyclopedia of Photography (fourth edition). France Scully Osterman is guest scholar at George Eastman House, and teaches private tutorials and workshops in the couple's 19th century skylight studio in Rochester, New York, US. The couple began publishing a collodion manual in 1995, and published The Collodion Journal from 1995 to 2002. Their work is featured in several alternative and historic process books, Coming Into Focus, 2001, by John Barnier, Photography's Antiquarian Avant-Guard, 2002, by Lyle Rexer, and The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes, 2000, by Christopher James. ?? |
