Graves says "There's enough do-gooding art to suffocate a saint at this year's Bumbershoot... But only one man, Daniel Smith, traveled to an epicenter of American fear and ignorance in order to create his exhibition... His exhibitions are more than poster shows, they're trips to places where Americans do not—or cannot—go." read the full article here
