About

Pop Sequentialism

Pop Sequentialism began as a traveling, curated art exhibition in 2011. The show went from Los Angeles to Paris and Tokyo and back again. A catalog of the original artworks featured in these shows was published by La Luz de Jesus Press and Last Gasp Books, and soon afterwards, the Pod Sequentialism podcast anchored the Meltdown Podcast Network as its flagship show.

The new Pop Sequentialism is the nexus of all things pop culture, from fine art to film, fashion and collectibles. It’s a destination site that features articles and interviews with creators and influencers on the cutting edge of science, fiction and finance–all personally curated by author and art director, Matt Kennedy.

About

Matt Kennedy

Matt Kennedy is a curator with thirty years of experience within the worlds of Art and Pop. Kennedy is the owner and director of Gallery 30 South in Pasadena, and was the creative director of La Luz de Jesus Gallery–starting in the early 90’s then serving in the longest, uninterrupted directorship of the gallery’s history from 2009-2018. The interim included fifteen years of entertainment business experience ranging from performing and producing to funding independent and experimental film. He organized major exhibitions such as retrospectives of Neon Park and Chick Strand (LAMAG 2010), Wayne Martin Belger (Art Space Shreveport 2011), Myron Dyal (Indy MOCA 2012), and ¡Orale! The History of Pop Surrealism at The Harwood Museum of Taos (2013-2014). He has also contributed to Guillermo Del Toro: At Home with Monsters(LACMA 2016) and Pacific Standard Time (The Getty 2017), and Kennedy’s Panik Collective headlined the inauguration of the Houston Museum of Drawing, which was extended by more than six months for popular demand. Matt hosted fine art debuts of Chuck D. and Frances Bean Cobain, and staged groundbreaking, experiential Pop-Up exhibitions around Arcade Games and Airline Travel.

As founder and president of Panik House Entertainment, Matt Kennedy oversaw restoration of many classic films now included in Mexico’s National Museum of Film, and broadened appreciation for Japanese feminist films of the 1970s. His Manufacturing the Media column ran weekly on the Forces of Geek website, and his film reviews as Flickhead on KLSX, Los Angeles were heard by one of the largest English Speaking audiences in national radio.

Matt Kennedy is widely recognized as an expert on Animation & Sequential Art, Asian Film, and Street Art, and has appeared on many television and film programs for his knowledge on those subjects. The Pod Sequentialism podcast grew out of the Pop Sequentialism book and traveling art exhibitions and became the flagship show on the Meltdown Radio Network.

Now relaunching the Pop Sequentialism brand, Matt Kennedy presents hundreds of interviews with creators and influencers alongside original art and collectibles in a nexus of Pop Art and Pop Culture that is Pure Entertainment.
