The envelope arrived about a week after the online request was made. It contained a smaller envelope sealed with black wax stamped “J.” Inside were a mirrored coin and a card which, when scratched, gave off a faint whiff of password.
At the center of the performance are four impossible bottles modeled after the works of magician and teacher Harry Eng. But where Eng would somehow fit blocks of wood, packs of cards, locks, and scissors inside small-necked bottles, Andrews, whose work often explores the magical possibilities of smell, fit perfume bottles inside instead.
