Produced by Alex Stevens. Layout design by Harry McGowan, Paul McCarthy. Rebel Dabble Babble is a collaboration between Paul McCarthy and his son Damon McCarthy. Rebel Dabble Babbl e is a large and complex installation and video projection work originally inspired by both Nicholas Ray’s 1955 classic Hollywood film Rebel Without a Cause and the furious rumors that swirled around the off-set relationships between its director and his stars James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo. This densely layered opus confronts definitions of power and role-playing, and expands far beyond the ’50s movie and related legends. Ultimately, Rebel Dabble Babble is a meditation upon the archetypes and Oedipal tensions that define family dynamics as they have been played out in private homes, in the evolution of art history, and in the role of the entertainment industry in shaping our expectations and self-images. 13 x 13 inches Signed by both artists, back of box.
