    The Lone Wolf Recital Corps is a performance unit with revolving membership that was founded by Terry Adkins at Zurich in 1986. The Corps is usually activated in conjunction with Adkins’ installation based experiences called recitals. Adkins considers the precision inherent to the deliberate stage arrangements of instruments and personnel pictured in early big bands to the Art Ensemble of Chicago to be contemporary installations proper. The Lone Wolf Recital Corps often incorporates theatrical aspects of this tradition into its happenings. The world premiere of Atum (Honey From A Flower Named Blue) features a debut trio grouping of Charles Gaines, Kamau Amu Patton and Terry Adkins for an evening of immersive experience in sound, light and image.

    Charles Gaines is an influential conceptual artist, drummer, pianist and composer. Gaines’ work over the last 40 years has radically questioned the relationships between aesthetic experience, political belief, and the formation of meaning and how these relationships can be problematic if they remain in the subconscious. He has had over 60 one-person shows and several hundred group exhibitions in the US and Europe including: Blues For Smoke, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, All Of This And Nothing, Hammer Museum, Now Dig This! Art and Black Los Angeles 1960 – 1980 and Under the Big Black Sun: 1974-1981, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles
