From Nose to Tail is published on the occasion of Martin Wöhrl's (*1974) solo exhibition "Elephant in the Room" in the summer of 2020 at Kunstverein Ingolstadt, which focused primarily on his concrete works. The title, meanwhile, is a term used in the field of gastronomy and refers to the most complete processing of an animal, from the tenderloin and its innards to its tail. Martin Wöhrl uses this reference because he attaches the same value to all the component materials of his sculptures, and he also works with the remnants of his productions to create ever new combinations. The Munich-born artist constructs his sculptures by combining tangible set pieces of actual existing architecture, either sacred or profane in nature, in a manner that encourages dialogue--such as linoleum and brass. It occasionally appears as though he created dream images while his mind went woolgathering. Initially, however, in keeping with an aesthetic core belief in a minimalist approach to material, he opted for wood, concrete, and plaster; he piled up concrete cubes, placed frames on the wall, or posi­tioned tubes and pipes within a space.

Simone Schimpf is a German art historian; since 2013 she has been director of the Museum of Concrete Art in Ingolstadt and chairwoman of the Foundation for Concrete Art and Design, before that she worked as a curator for eight years at the Kunstmuseum in Stuttgart. She has edited numerous books and published on contemporary art, among others on Josephine Meckseper; her thematic focus lies on Concrete Art.
