Over the course o Arnol ini's 50th anniversary year,artist Neil Cummings has developed a series o selportraits o the organisation. Presented throughoutthe building, these portraits trace Arnol ini's historyand speculate on possible utures.

A relational timeline traces the presence o Arnol inithrough three colours: pale blue representing thehistory o art and Arnol ini, purple or technologicalinnovation, and olive green or social and inancialorganisation. Starting rom the Bristol Riots o1831, the timeline ollows Arnol ini's expansion asit relocates rom Triangle West to Queen Square andthen to W-shed (now Watershed), be ore arriving at itscurrent location in Bush House in 1975. The timelineends on the second loor where the data becomeshighly speculative, imagining what might un old in thecoming decades.

Neil Cummings is a pro essor at Chelsea College oArt and Design. He is a member o Critical Practice, acluster o artists, researchers and academics, and isresident at Arnol ini throughout 2011.

An artist's publication by Neil Cummings or Arnol ini's50th anniversary is available rom Arnol ini bookshop.www.criticalpracticechelsea.orgwww.neilcummings.comtwitter: #NEILC
