Derek G. Larson is an artist and educator based in New York whose work merges animation, philosophy, and politics. He is the creator of Très Mall, a surreal animated series featured on DIS that combines critical theory and humor through guest collaborations with figures such as Noam Chomsky, Boris Groys, Emily Apter, McKenzie Wark and David Joselit. Larson’s research also examines Cold War-era propaganda, most recently through the project “Made in Mexico: The Anti-Communist Cartoons of Dibujos Animados S.A.” (Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies, 2025) and the forthcoming screening Modernism for Export at Anthology Film Archives. He holds an MFA from Yale University and has exhibited internationally, with upcoming solo exhibitions at the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia and on DIS.
