June Academy trip

Visiting the art schools at the end of June is one of my all time favorites.  
This year I only made it to Leuven, where  'Kantklossen' (hand made bobbin lace) figures on the list of subjects to study  at the Academy. Interested anyone?

Academy of Leuven

Last stop on my "end of year exhibitions trip" was the Academy of Leuven. 
Although the photography section usually get most of my attention, I had the privilege of taking a picture of Jan Smets (photo 1) who stands in front of Michael Jackson, his interpretation of the assignment 'tragedies'.
The umbrella man in the second picture was probably just on his way out, into the rain again, when he ran into friends.  I do not think he was part of the show.
