Upcoming Exhibitions
Echo/Location: Exploring the Extra-Sensory
Opening April 17, 2026
The Kreeger Museum and Pyramid Atlantic Art Center are pleased to present Echo/Location: Exploring the Extra-Sensory, a solo exhibition featuring the work of Imar Lyman, on view at The Kreeger Museum from April 17 through July 11, 2026. This exhibition is presented under The Collaborative, a program developed by The Kreeger Museum to support Washingtonarea artists.
Echolocation is a form of biological sonic radar. Used as a tool for some animals to “see” and navigate their environments, sound waves are emitted to avoid prey and find their way in the dark.
Echo/Location showcases DC-based artist Imar Lyman’s [Hutchins] (b. 1970) new body of abstract work. Bringing together mixed media collage, painting, sculpture and printmaking, his artistry is in conversation with artists Sam Gilliam and Frank Stella, masterworks that have anchored The Kreeger Museum’s Contemporary Gallery since 1994 when the Museum opened to the public. Imar Lyman’s debut exhibition at the museum utilizes “echoes” from the past to navigate the current moment and propel different points of view forward. Several pieces featured invite participation, asking the viewer to consider how the artwork is presented or to explore its form and function—things which may not always appear immediately obvious. Constantly pushing boundaries, he also pays homage to overlooked aspects of printmaking traditions. The culmination becomes an energetic loop of color, patterns, and materiality that blend time and our place within it.
