STICK - WITH HISTORY OF AFFORDANCE 2017

#exstrange is a curatorial project transforming ebay into a site of artistic production and cultural exchange as an artistic intervention into capitalism.
Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.
When our son was in primary school, between kindergarten and third grade he would often have these sticks with him when we picked him up from school. He found them in trees by the schoolyard and played with them at recess time as make-believe firearms.
While we did not forbid playing with guns, unlike most parents of our generation, it is not permissible to sell firearms or guns on ebay, even stick-guns. We offer one of the three sticks pictured to the winner of the auction and it will be sent to them. Please describe it clearly so that we send the correct one.
We are offering it with the memory of the original affordance, but fully realize it may acquire new ones, perhaps in accordance with ebay policies, perhaps within the rules of the art-world.
