Abstract
This article shows ways on how an art collection –from the Biennial Project– can generate several curatorial possibilities. After the collection recovery, the direction of the Cuenca Biennial (2019-2023), intends three curatorships that allowed to show several editions of the Cuenca Biennial art works. There were planned three small exhibitions that shown part of the city's heritage, the historical memory and the path of an emblematic project for the city. Each exhibition has a curatorial text written in three different scenarios that lead to think the Collection and how it can have several understandings and curatorial proposals. The first one is Parábolas de Superficies (2019), containing seven awards-acquisition in the Collection; Máquinas Sensibles (2022) involving eleven works including awards-acquisition, honorable mentions, and donations; and finally, Modulaciones en claroscuro (2023), comprising four works, all awards-acquisition.

Las experiencias estéticas y su difusión en museos y centros culturales apuntan (...) a crear un paisaje inédito de lo visible, nuevas subjetividades y conexiones, ritmos diferentes de aprehensión de lo dado. Pero no lo hacen al modo de la actividad que crea un nosotros con recursos de emancipación colectiva. En esta perspectiva, la difusión cultural debería admitir y promover que en las obras y en las experiencias artísticas hay un indecible (Canclini, 2023, p. 20)
