'Rebel' se podrá ver del 15 de mayo al 23 de junio de 2012, en JF Chen, un espacio de arte y diseño contemporáneo emergente, ubicado en 941 North Highland Avenue, Los Ángeles, California.
'Rebel' es una oda interrogativa a la obra maestra de Nicholas Ray 'Rebelde sin causa' (1955), concebido por Franco para abrazar y determinar los principales temas y acontecimientos de la película original. La exposición reinterpreta las leyendas de la película, las personas involucradas, su lugar en Hollywood, el cine como un medio, y las secuencias detrás de las escenas, en una presentación nueva, fresca y poco convencional de cine, video instalación, fotografía, pintura, dibujo, y escultura, presentado y enmarcado por las estructuras icónicas de Hollywood.
