IT’S GROWING WILD! is a 22-meter-long wall frieze created by the artist Emilia Bergmark for the newly renovated Enghavegård School and the cultural center Mørkhøj Park in Gladsaxe Municipality.
The wall frieze, made of valchromat and ceramics, reflects the natural surroundings of Mørkhøj Park and its development from a flourishing meadow landscape to lawns with hardy invasive plant species. Across several floors, the artwork invites viewers to explore the life unfolding above and below the ground among flowers and insects. The narrative and figures of the piece were developed in dialogue with students from Enghavegård School through a workshop program at the Urban Ecology Center in Gladsaxe.
The work was commissioned by Gladsaxe Municipality. Lotte Boesen Toftegaard of Umage served as the artistic advisor on the project. The production was supported by the Danish Art Workshops and the Danish Arts Foundation. Signage design by Kiosk Studio.
