Advance Notice

Titled “Advance Notice,” the exhibition recreated R-GO’s restoration workshop, inviting visitors to encounter a Porsche 911 in its state just before being brought back to life by skilled craftsmen.
A section of the actual workshop, normally active at R-GO’s Tokyo base, was reconstructed at StandBy and featured the unfinished body of a car awaiting restoration.

Every element was thoughtfully arranged to offer an intimate view of the car’s “true condition” prior to completion. Alongside the vehicle, tools used daily by R-GO’s technicians were displayed, underscoring both the craftsmanship inherent in every stage of the process and the deep commitment invested in each car.


「Advance Notice」と題された本展示では、R-GOのレストア工房を再現し、職人の手で蘇る前のポルシェ911の姿を来場者に体感してもらうことを目的とした。東京のR-GO拠点で日々実際に行われているレストア工房を「StandBy」にて部分的に再現し、レストア前の未完成ボディを展示。来場者に仕上がり前の“リアルな状態”を間近で体験してもらうための工夫を凝らした。会場には、技術者が普段の作業の中で実際に使用している工具も展示され、細部に宿るクラフトマンシップと、目の前の個体それぞれに向き合う真摯な姿勢を表した。
