In 2004 Neumark, in collaboration with Maria Miranda, made Searching for rue Simon-Crubellier, ostensibly a search through the streets and bureaucracies of Paris for the fictive street written about by Georges Perec in his celebrated novel Life: A User’s Manual. This project began a new series of mobile works, with searching acting as the frame and motif for performative encounters with strangers. Other mobile works include: Talking About the Weather (2006), In Search of the Inland Sea (2008), and Down the Drain (2011).
In 2007 Neumark co-curated the exhibition Weather Trouble.
In 2010 she co-curated Memory Flows at the Armory, Sydney.
