LIFETIME GUARANTEE
Lifetime Guarantee is a collaboration between Jenny Hillenbrand (Cambridge, NY) and Kristen Tordella-Williams (Opelika, AL). They met at Alfred University in 2010 and have since created multiple performances, collaborative experiences, and companion sculptures. Their work creates liminal spaces for communities to gather, reform their relationship to individual and communal value, and engage in play. Lifetime Guarantee works together across media and distance to bring together explosively fun experiences for participants, communities, and artists. Thematically focused on questioning traditional gender roles and economies, their most popular work “The Harder Barter Market” invites participants to barter their handmade goods in an energetic marketplace under the guidance of the collaborative duo. After over a decade of creating artwork together, Lifetime Guarantee is currently exploring new ways of connecting people through curation, guided collaborative projects, and publicly accessible placemaking.
