    "For Want of a Nail takes as its starting point a series of curious memoranda sent from J. Robert Oppenheimer's office in October 1943 and archived in the Los Alamos Historical Museum, in which the eminent scientist repeatedly requests a nail in the wall upon which he could hang his hat. The persistence and specificity of the request for this nail inspired the international art collective Futurefarmers to create, by hand (and after more than a half-century delay), three nails for the theoretical physicist: one forged from a meteorite, one cast using 1943 steel pennies, and a third made by re-fusing Trinitite, a material formed by residue from the Trinity nuclear bomb test. Growing out of a site-specific contribution to an exhibition in Santa Fe, New Mexico, this book engages the region's complex nuclear history as it relates to land use, resource extraction, and the far-reaching decisions that were made within the Manhattan Project. Throughout this multidisciplinary project, Futurefarmers constructs a narrative that runs parallel, and in some cases counter to, the conventional accounts of the Manhattan Project and Oppenheimer, its chief architect. Through video stills, production shots, essays, and interviews-presented in a book with uncut, unopened pages that the reader may cut to access more images-'For Want of a Nail' not only opens new ways to think about the region's particular atomic history, but also prompts more general reflections on how knowledge and narrative are embedded and communicated in material objects, both ephemeral and ancient." -- MIT Press website

    Oland Pulfer sucht und findet alte verbogene vielfach noch handgeschmiedete Nägel. Um die Nägel zu extrahieren, spaltet er das Holz oder, wenn das nicht möglich ist, verbrennt er das Holz im Feuer und holt so die Nägel aus der Asche; nur so behalten die Nägel ihre beim Einschlagen entstandene Form. Heutzutage verschwinden die allermeisten Nägel ansonsten endgültig in den riesigen Verbrennungsöfen. In seinem Atelier betrachtet, studiert, sortiert und gruppiert Pulfer die Nägel, er arrangiert sie spielerisch und doch mit einer sorgfältig ausgewählten Ordnung zu einem Schriftbild, einem Notenblatt, malerisch zu einem Sinnbild der Vergänglichkeit. Dadurch, dass die Nägel 'damals' - beim Einschlagen in das Holz - ihre meist endgültige Form erhalten haben, sind sie alle zu Unikaten und zugleich zu Zeugen einer längst vergangenen Zeit geworden. Neben ausgewählten Photographien der Kunstwerke findet sich ein einleitender Text, Kleine Archäologie des Nagels, von Aurel Schmidt sowie ein Blick zurück auf die Arbeiten der Nagelschmiede von Rudi Palla - je in deutscher und englischer Sprache - im Buch über Pulfers Nagelobjekte

    This article contributes to the study of religion by investigating the ritual significance of the ancient nail, focusing on its material power in piercing curse tablets (defixiones, sing. defixio) in Mediterranean antiquity. It thus brings a humble object and the gestures and labor associated with it more centrally into the study of religion in antiquity. The article also contributes to the study of religion more broadly by developing a theoretical framework derived from contemporary artistic, material practices. I interpret these ancient ritual objects—the materiality and aesthetics of defixiones and the function of the nail—by engaging contemporary artworks by Valerie Maynard, Renée Stout, and Titus Kaphar. In the racial condition of the United States, these artists materialize theory regarding aesthetics, history, and justice, drawing in part from Kongolese minkisi minkondi, which were nailed and pierced to mark rituals of justice.
