    Artist makes statement with flash mob

     
    Stripping off their clothes and throwing them to the ground, dancers in monochromatic outfits made an impromptu political statement on a busy street in Charlotte.

    Half in red and half in blue, representing red and blue politics, the troupe illustrated how corporate America -- shown creeping around and piling the excess clothing on his back -- is dividing the country.

    Spray paint artist Chor Boogie (shown in photo 3) and his team coordinated the flash mob to promote the launch of "The Divided State of America" national art exhibition during the Democratic National Convention.

    The six-painting series depicts "universal issues," such as "immigration, energy, the economy, class and religion," according to the artist's spokeswoman, Saskia Sidenfaden.

    The exhibition opens Thursday, Sept. 6, at Gallery X in Charlotte.
