Last year I was very impressed by Ithaka (a yearly exhibition of visual arts organized by students), so this year I had to check it out again. Unfortunately I was a little bit disappointed, (maybe because of the location that wasn’t nearly as impressive as the one from last year?) but these balloons filled with colored pigment by Laurens Mariën kind of made up for it.

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.)
