It is exactly the opposite, it is an independent project, conceived ahead of an exhibition. In fact, Matt Keegan has devised an exhibition from the publication, rather than the traditional reverse. Even more, an illimited number of venues may be produced. Emphasizing the wall as a page, each one provides a temporary container for ==’s various parts, allowing Matt Keegan to act as protagonist of the fictive curatorial project. The first proposal for the exhibition is held from May 12 to June 30,2012 at mfc-michèle didier gallery.The enigmatic title of this publication refers to html programming and the double equal sign is used to creat equivalent fields.
