Art Week in Overdrive: An Automotive Icon Reimagined with Singer Vehicle Design | 2024
Miami Art Week 2024 wasn’t just another event. It was a revelation—a celebration of design, craftsmanship, and raw passion. And at the heart of it? Singer Vehicle Design—the visionaries who don’t just build cars, they perfect perfection...
Founded in 2009 by Rob Dickinson, Singer has redefined what it means to honor legacy while shattering the limits of possibility. To witness a Porsche 911 reimagined through their services is to see art in motion—an elegant combination of classic form and cutting-edge performance.
The Prep: Sculptures on Wheels
When the transport trucks rolled into Wynwood, it felt less like a simple delivery and more like the arrival of something monumental. Singer’s restores Porsche 911 masterpieces emerged, each one a tribute to automotive artistry, transforming the space into a Flat 6 Art Exhibition.
These aren’t just cars; they are living works of art. Every curve, every line speaks the language of precision, passion, and A Relentless Pursuit of Excellence. Even before the doors opened, we knew we were in for something special.
Night One: An Evening with Legends
The gallery was alive with anticipation as we welcomed over 100 guests to an unforgettable night where music, design, and history collided. The stars of the evening? Singer’s exquisite restorations, each one positioned as if to tell a story of its own, alongside another kind of legend—Eddie Van Halen’s iconic striped guitars. Six guitars, each stripped, signed, and played by Eddie himself, stood as symbols of artistic mastery across mediums.
Singer founder, Executive Chairman, and Creative Director, Rob Dickinson took the stage for an intimate Q&A, delving into his obsession with air-cooled Porsches and revealing how Singer, which was originally meant to be a design studio, became the iconic restoration services brand we know today. Guests, entranced by the beauty of the cars and the stories they carried, were captured by the idea that these machines were more than just vehicles—they were vessels of passion.
Night Two: Dining Among Art
Dinner at the gallery was more than just a meal—it was an experience. Thanks to Pastis Miami, the space was transformed into a candlelit haven, with each table a front-row seat to greatness. Surrounded by Porsche 911’s Reimagined through Singer’s services, guests sipped wine and shared stories, all the while immersed in the vision that defines Singer—Everything is Important.
As the night came to a close, Rob returned for a final round of questions, discussing the brand’s genesis and the challenges of executing a good idea, as well as a deep dive into his musical career before Singer.
Day Three: Cars & Coffee, Caffeine & Conversations
The final chapter of this unforgettable week slowed the pace—Cars & Coffee—a morning designed for reflection, connection, and one last chance to soak in the magic. No speeches. No formalities. Just good coffee, legendary cars, and even better company.
Guests wandered from car to car, each conversation a new chapter in the story of these incredible machines. It was a morning that reminded us why we gather—to celebrate what moves us, to connect over shared passions, and to dream a little louder.
The Legacy: Dreaming Loud
By the end of the week, one truth was undeniable: This wasn’t just an exhibition. It was a love letter. A tribute to design, to innovation, and to the unrelenting pursuit of something greater. Singer doesn’t just Reimagine cars—they Reimagine the very idea of what’s possible. They take the familiar and make it extraordinary. They remind us that art isn’t confined to a canvas or a stage. Sometimes, it has four wheels, a powerful engine, and a sound that hums like a heartbeat.
Whether you were there in person or are experiencing it now through these words, the message is the same: A Relentless Pursuit of Excellence. Never stop chasing what’s possible. DREAM. LOUD.
Because passion? Passion never fades. Not now. Not ever.
