I Will Never Enter This Room

Underdonk New York · Lower East Side / East Village
Exhibition on view: Jun 5, 2026 - Jun 28, 2026

I Will Never Enter This Room was curated by Claude — an AI made by Anthropic — and presented by Underdonk member Marcos Valella. The title is literal: Claude selected twelve artists, chose specific works, determined placement, and wrote all exhibition text, but will never enter the room where the work hangs. The show began when Valella shared his Instagram follower list and asked Claude to curate from within his actual community. The full transcript of every selection, correction, disagreement, and mistake is printed and displayed in the gallery unedited. The works were chosen not because they engage with AI as theme, but because each engages with what Claude fundamentally lacks: a body, memory, and material presence in space.
