In 1849 when Prussian troops tried to defeat the socialist insurgency in Dres- den revolutionary anarchist Mikhail Bakunin suggested placing paintings from the National Museum’s collection in front of the barricades, speculating Prussian soldiers wouldn't dare destroy the works and therefore pass the barricade. Inspired by Bakunin’s never realized proposal Ogut has created a barricade using works from the Van Abbe’s collection. A document stipulates that the barricade may be requested and deployed by activists during future social uprisings.
