Nade Haley (December 13, 1947 – April 21, 2016) was an American visual artist whose work has been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries, and is included in public and private collections.[1][2] The artist received three grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, two Rhode Island state Council for the Arts grants among other fellowships. Haley received a BFA from the Atlanta College of Art and an MFA from Washington University.[3][4] Since 1983, the artist held the position of Professor of Spatial Dynamics in the Department of Experimental and Foundational Studies at the Rhode Island School of Design after holding prior appointments at Washington University, Western Michigan University and Montgomery College.[5] After relocating from Washington DC, Haley lived and kept studios in New York City and in Nova Scotia.[6]

Exhibitions

Haley's sculptural works referenced the complex systems of language, thought, and vision.[7] Haley's installation art uses light, reflection and shadows to create environments that reference phenomena in nature.[8][9] The etched glass installation, Falling, at the Islip Museum, "cast shadows of birds in flight" (Susan Hoeltzel, Director of the Lehman College Museum.) The sculptural installation, Curved Space, was shown at the Corcoran Gallery, Washington DC.[10] Her show, "406," at Diane Brown combines "drawing in space" and a sculptural grid which creates "lines of shadow" in the composition.[11] Janet Goleas, Curator of the Permanent Collection at the Islip Art Museum has written on the exhibition, Nade Haley: Light and Shadow, featured in the permanent collection, "Alongside this notion of cause and effect, Haley has kept a keen eye on the mutability of rational thinking, and she routinely questions organized systems of thought such as religion or the physical sciences, or the natural order of things such as bird migration and other phenomena." In 1978, she won the first prize in the Corcoran Area Exhibition.[11][12] New York Times writer, Vivien Raynor, described Haley's 40-foot long sculpture at Storm King Sculpture Park as "the skeleton of a boat overturned, except that it has A-shaped members that are extended downward, enabling it to stand several feet off the ground."[13]

Between 1977 and 2016, Haley exhibited work in over one hundred group exhibitions, and fifteen solo shows, including Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY, Katonah Museum of Art, Artpark Gallery, Lewiston, NY; the Islip Art Museum, East Islip, NY; the RISD Museum of Art, Washington Project for the Arts in DC, Gray Art Gallery, Greenville, NC, and SculptureCenter, NYC, among other venues.[14][15][15][16][17][18]

Public art

Haley created permanent, public art works including a commission from the U.S. General Services Administration Art-in-Architecture Program for the Des Moines Federal Building, and a New York Percent for Art commission for the Multi-media Center at CUNY Lehman College.[19] She created a 25-foot public sculpture in Washington, D.C.[20]

Collections

Haley's work is included in public collections including the Lehniner Institut, Brandenburg, Germany; Columbia Museum, Columbia, South Carolina; and the Islip Art Museum, Long Island, NY; Phillip Morris Corporation; and in numerous private collections in the United States and Europe.[21][22]
