New Wave Textualism has been an elaborate, multi-sited and two-decades-old venture to liberate the literary (make no mistake: it is a literary endeavor) from the confines of conventions and assumptions: through the LitStills and Textallations, through projects that generate Off the Page Lit and Public Literature (PubLit), through the Single Edition Literary Artifacts, these literary works at times look like artworks (‘works on paper’, ‘installations’), but they are purposely intruding on that space and disturbing both ‘art’ practice and the nature and essence of what constitutes the literary.
