Ceramic artists; Robin Lambert, Carole Epp and Jody Greenman-Barber, challenge our notions of contemporary ceramic based craft practice by merging their individual approaches to making craft.
This exhibition brings together the work of three emerging ceramic artists, all with ties to Saskatchewan, into a “conversation” through their objects about the role of art/craft.

“‘ecooler’ by mey kahn and boaz kahn from israle is one of the third prize winners of ‘iida awards 2010‘, organized by designboom in collaboration with incheon metropolitan city.
using passive and natural cooling methods, the ‘ecooler’ screen is a system of hollow ceramic tiles that cools a room by running water through its channels.
designer’s own words:
the ‘ecooler’ tile screen offers an alternative for cooling internal spaces without the use of electricityit is based on a hollow ceramic tile that can carry and transfer water. using a designated connector,it can be connected to other tiles, creating a natural cooling screen. ‘ecooler’ is a combination between two traditional middle-eastern elements: the mashrabiya and the jara. the mashrabiya is an architectural element that bears social values as a mediator between the inside and the outside. it is designed to allow air and light into internal spaces. the jara is an ancient jug used for cooling water by seepage and evaporation through the clay. unlike today’s air conditioner that creates separation between the user and the environment while exaggerating climate conditions, the ‘ecooler’ system takes responsibility and allows you to live in harmony with the environment. “
