Last year, City Space asked artists to submit proposals on postcards for new Bay Area souvenirs that reinterpreted traditional ones, challenging the artists move beyond the "narrow strictures" of the kitschy objects. Out of the deluge of colorful cards they received (visible online at City Space's site), the gallery picked 40 winners to be produced for an exhibit, "Wish You Were Here: The Souvenir and Urban Memory," which of course is going to look like your average souvenir shop, with much of the inventory for sale. Nick Tobier harkens back to real estate listings of the '90s, Kristin Posehn brings us a Mission Bay freeway column, and Denise Parsons unveils a handcrafted fabric version of the little pink plastic shopping bag of Chinatown. Being periodic aficionados of the Dollar Menu, we're looking forward to Erika Nelson's take on commemorative travel plates with her collection of paper goods from Bay Area McDonald's.
