It is as much a muse, as it is an ally as it is the protagonist. Take for instance \u2018Kala\u2019, (meaning time or an epoch, in Sanskrit) which was performed in 2011, at Watermill Center&#8217;s Knee Building, NY. The performance consisted of three hours of clock-wise climbing within a steel wheel sculpture suspended against a 48\u2019 high wall. Lyle\u2019s \u2018Kala\u2019 invokes not only the Kalachakra Tradition of Vjrayana Buddism that revolves around the concept of time and cycles, but also to circadian rhythms, the flow of time and our place at the centre of it.&#8221;  -Nivedita Magar <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-125\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kala2.jpg\" alt=\"Alexander Lyle kala2\" width=\"440\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kala2.jpg 440w, https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kala2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-126\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kala3.jpg\" alt=\"Alexander Lyle kala3\" width=\"440\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kala3.jpg 440w, https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kala3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-127\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kala3.png\" alt=\"Alexander Lyle kala3\" width=\"641\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kala3.png 641w, https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kala3-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 641px) 100vw, 641px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-128\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kalanight.png\" alt=\"Alexander Lyle kalanight\" width=\"639\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kalanight.png 639w, https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kalanight-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-129\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kalasculp1-1024x575.png\" alt=\"Alexander Lyle kalasculp1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kalasculp1-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kalasculp1-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kalasculp1-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/kalasculp1.png 1111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-130\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1020995-575x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Alexander Lyle Kalasculp4\" width=\"575\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1020995-575x1024.jpg 575w, https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1020995-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1020995-768x1367.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-131\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1020998-575x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Alexander Lyle Kalasculp6\" width=\"575\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1020998-575x1024.jpg 575w, https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1020998-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1020998-768x1367.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-133\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/watermillvp2.png\" alt=\"Alexander Lyle Watermill Kala Bloomberg2\" width=\"651\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/watermillvp2.png 651w, https:\/\/alexanderlyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/watermillvp2-300x246.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 651px) 100vw, 651px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steel Pipe and fittings, 3 hours Watermill Center, Watermill, NY 2011 Performance and Installation by Alexander Lyle, Styling by Charlie Le Mindu &#8220;Time as a notion that goes beyond a unit of measure, plays a significant role in Lyle\u2019s practice.
