Fifty years ago, the assassination of John F. Kennedy shocked the
world and focused attention to the 8mm footage shot by Abraham
Zapruder. The event fuelled conspiracy theories and repeated
viewings of Zapruder's film as seemingly everyone in the world
searched for motive and conclusive proof of a single gunman. In his
new Preface to this reissued edition of Dangerous Knowledge, Art
Simon discusses public fascination with celebrity deaths and recent
assassination-related media - from documentaries to scholarly books
to the scandalous video game JFK Reloaded - to show that the
assassination continues to inspire writers, artists, and
filmmakers. Dangerous Knowledge examines the seminal works of art
associated with the assassination, including Andy Warhol's silk
screens, the underground films of Bruce Conner, and provocative
Hollywood films like The Parallax View and JFK. Simon's
investigation places assassination art and images within a
historical context - one that helps us understand what the
assassination has meant to American culture.
