Drive It All Over Me (2023) is a long-form essay on text-based visual artworks by Jay Chung and Q Takeki Maeda, Vanessa Place, and Jack Goldstein. Commissioned by Chung and Maeda, the book concerns their work Bad Driver (2021), Vanessa Place’s Gone with the Wind (ca. 2009–15), and Jack Goldstein’s Selected Writings (1993–2000). Drive It All Over Me addresses broad themes of subtextual narrative, authorship, and identity while touching upon allegory, elaborately subtle jokes, and writing as a sculptural material. Published in English on July 7, 2023 and launched at Maxwell Graham Gallery in New York on October 4, 2023. The first run sold out soon thereafter. The artist and author also created a sculpture incorporating the book, which has been exhibited at Somerset House and will be included in the forthcoming exhibition CUTE at Kunsthal Rotterdam. Drive It All Over Me has been stocked in the U.S. at Blade Study and Petzel Gallery in New York; Somerset House in London, U.K.; After8 Books in Paris, France; Books AT in Amsterdam, Netherlands; and Rile Books in Brussels, Belgium. A French translation appeared in Jay Chung and Q Takeki Maeda’s Bad Driver (2024), coproduced by the Conceptual art publisher and gallery mfc-michèle didier (Paris/Brussels) and the institution FRAC Lorraine (Metz, France).
