ARTCORE talks exclusively about the culture of today and tomorrow. No advertising, no business, neither historic documentation nor superficial reporting, no mass media, no Hollywood. Instead, ARTCORE presents: literature, theatre, virtual and industrial design, philosophy, tango and, of course, contemporary art, which comprises ARTCORE’s thematic focus.
