Last week, I showed you the beautiful gardens of the Carthusian monastery, and today it’s time for the inside of this abandoned building and the artwork displayed at the festival. I don’t remember the artists, but if you’re interested, you can take a look at the ithaka website.

Last week, I visited Ithaka, a visual arts festival in an abandonned building in Leuven, organized by students. This year, Ithaka celebrated its 20th anniversary and occupied the old carthusian monastery. When I arrived at the monastery, I was mind blown by the fact that such a beautiful location existed in Leuven and I wasn’t aware of it at all. So today, I have a few photos of the gorgeous garden for you, and next week I’ll flood you with lots of photos of the inside and the displayed art. (More information about ithaka and the monastery here.)

Like every Belgian blogger out there, I need to complain about the weather these days. We were luckily spoiled with a sunny and warm weekend, but today it’s raining cats and dogs again. (Which even led to me skipping class, oops.) So while I’m staring out the window I’m dreaming of the hopefully warm and sunny summer to come.
By the way, how awesome are these pants? Wishlisted!
PS. Does anyone know why my images always turn out so crappy after I’ve uploaded them? They look fine when I open them on my computer, but once I’ve uploaded them to wordpress they look horrible in comparison to the original. I’m saving them as a jpeg by the way. Any help is welcome, this has been bothering me for quite some time.
